Server Configuration and Utilities Redundant ROM Support The HP ProLiant ML530 Generation 2 server enables you to upgrade or configure your ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server has a ROM image that acts as two separate 1-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one section of the ROM contains the most current ROM version, while the other section of the ROM contains a previous version. 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. There are two methods of accessing the redundant ROM: • Switching to the backup ROM through RBSU • Manually forcing to the backup ROM through the system maintenance switch (SW4) Switching to the Backup ROM Through the ROM-Based Setup Utility Use ROMPaq utilities to create a backup ROM image before upgrading the configuration or to restore saved ROM data. 1. Access RBSU by pressing the F9 key during power up when the prompt displays in the lower right corner of the screen. 2. Select Advanced Options. 3. Select ROM Selection. 4. Select one of the ROM banks as the system ROM. 5. Press the Enter key. 6. Press the Esc key to exit the current menu, or press the Esc key, then press the F10 key at the prompt to exit RBSU. 7. Restart the server. HP ProLiant ML530 Generation 2 Server Setup and Installation Guide 8-11
