Although the results will be the same, the Offline ROM Flash does not provide the same benefits of the new Online ROM Flash method. In addition, when upgrading remotely, the server administrator can only update one server at a time. There are two methods of performing an Offline ROM Flash. The firmware can be updated using a ROMPaq Diskette or using the ROM Update Utility. A ROMPaq is a floppy-disk based method of upgrade. The firmware is downloaded onto a floppy diskette and then the system is booted to the floppy drive. The ROM Update Utility is located on the Firmware Maintenance CD, or can be downloaded to a USB Drive Key using the HP Drive Key Boot Utility. Note: Hard Drive components can only be updated using the Offline method.
