5 Updating the Controller Firmware You can update the firmware on Compaq options by using the Options ROMPaq utility. There are two versions of this utility: Options ROMPaq for Array Controllers and Options ROMPaq for Internal (SCSI Attached) Drives. If you purchased your server with an array controller already installed, you do not need to run this utility during server installation. However, if you have older Smart Array Controllers or other Compaq options (such as drives), run Options ROMPaq to make sure that these devices have the latest firmware. Compaq recommends that you run the latest Options ROMPaq on all Compaq array controllers whenever new versions of the utility are released. The Options ROMPaq utility has two main sources: • Smart Array Controller Support Software CD • The downloadable SoftPaq file on the Compaq website If your server has a bootable CD-ROM drive, you can run Options ROMPaq directly from the Smart Array Controller Support Software CD. Otherwise, you must run Options ROMPaq from a diskette created from the CD or from the SoftPaq file. IMPORTANT: Compare the version numbers of the Options ROMPaq utility from these two sources. If the CD versions are older, use the SoftPaq file instead. Compaq Smart Array 5i Plus Controller and Battery Backed Write Cache Enabler User Guide 5-1
