Server Configuration and Utilities Boot Options After the auto-configuration process completes, or after the server reboots upon exit from RBSU, the POST sequence runs, and then the boot option screen is displayed. This screen is visible for several seconds before the system attempts to boot from a diskette, CD, or hard drive. During this time, the menu on the screen allows you to install an operating system or make changes to the server configuration in RBSU. For more information, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility Guide on the Documentation CD. Redundant ROM Support The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server has a 2-MB ROM that acts as two separate 1-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of the ROM contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains the backup version. Safety and Security Benefits When you flash the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and saves the current ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the existing ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for any reason. This feature protects the previous ROM version, even if you experience a power failure while flashing the ROM. Access to Redundant ROM Settings Use ROMPaq utilities to create a backup ROM image before upgrading the configuration or to restore saved ROM data.
