Troubleshooting ROMPaq Disaster Recovery A corrupted system ROM requires that you recreate the ROM BIOS by a process called disaster recovery. This operation can be accomplished only when the system is in disaster recovery (emergency repair boot) mode. When both system ROMs are corrupt, the system defaults into disaster recovery mode automatically and the server emits two extended beeps. IMPORTANT: Prior to performing this operation, refer to the Servers Troubleshooting Guide for complete instructions on disaster recovery. To perform ROMPaq disaster recovery: 1. Power down the server. 2. Set system maintenance switches 1, 4, 5, and 6 to the "on" position. For the location of these switches, see Appendix C, "System LEDs and Switches." 3. Power up the server. After the system powers on, it emits two extended beeps. 4. Insert a ROMPaq diskette with the latest system ROM that you have downloaded from the website: www.compaq.com/support/files/ IMPORTANT: The ROMPaq flashes both sides of the redundant ROM, and this process may take up to 10 minutes. 5. Wait until the server emits three rising beeps, indicating the completion of the ROM flash process. 6. Power down the server again. If necessary, perform a forced shutdown by pressing the power button for four seconds. 7. Set system maintenance switches 1, 4, 5, and 6 back to the default position (off). 8. Restart the server.
