Server Configuration and Utilities 93 When the server boots, the system identifies whether the current ROM bank is corrupt. If a corrupt ROM is detected, the system boots from the backup ROM and alerts you through POST or IML that the ROM bank is corrupt. If both the current and backup versions of the ROM are corrupt, the server automatically enters ROMPaq disaster recovery mode ("ROMPaq Disaster Recovery" on page 108). ROMPaq Utility Flash ROM enables you to upgrade the firmware (BIOS) with system or option ROMPaq utilities. To upgrade the BIOS, insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive and boot the system. The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available ROM revisions. This procedure is the same for both system and option ROMPaq utilities.
