Server Configuration and Utilities Upgrading the System ROM using the ROMPaq Utility Flash ROM enables you to upgrade the firmware (BIOS) with system or option ROMPaq utilities. To upgrade the BIOS: 1. Download the latest version of the system BIOS for the ProLiant ML530 Generation 2 server onto a diskette. The latest system BIOS is available at www.compaq.com/support/files/server 2. Insert the ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive. 3. Power up the system. The ROMPaq Utility checks the system and provides a choice, if more than one exists, of available ROM revisions. By default, the image that is marked as the backup is overwritten. This procedure is the same for both system and option ROMPaq utilities. If a power loss occurs during a firmware upgrade, redundant ROM support enables data recovery. Remote ROM Flash Smart Components for Remote ROM Flash enables Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Novell Netware operating system administrators to upgrade the firmware (BIOS) on a server from a remote location. To update your ROM from a remote location, download the Online Flash Utility from the website: www.compaq.com/support/files/server The Remote ROM Flash utility automatically checks for hardware, firmware, and operating system dependencies, and installs only the correct ROM upgrades required by each target server. If a power loss occurs during a firmware upgrade, redundant ROM support enables data recovery. HP ProLiant ML530 Generation 2 Server Setup and Installation Guide 8-13
