Firmware maintenance HP has developed technologies to help ensure that HP servers provide maximum uptime with minimal maintenance. Many of these technologies also reduce server management efforts, enabling administrators to work on issues and resolve problems without taking servers offline. The process of updating system or option firmware is referred to as a flash process or flashing the ROM. A firmware or ROM flash removes the existing version of firmware from the ROM and replaces it with a more recent version. Update the firmware to do the following: • Support new hardware, such as a processor revision • Support new features • Correct problems in a previous firmware version Without the correct firmware version, the server and hardware options may not function properly. Types of ROM Types of ROMs include: • System ROM (on page 80) • Option ROMs (on page 81) System ROM All ProLiant servers have a system ROM. Software tools and solutions 80
