ROMPaq utility
The ROMPaq utility enables you to upgrade the system firmware (BIOS). To upgrade the firmware, insert
a ROMPaq USB Key into an available USB port and boot the system. In addition to ROMPaq, Online
Flash Components for Windows and Linux operating systems are available for updating the system
firmware.
The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of available
firmware revisions.

Integrated Lights-Out 3 technology
The iLO 3 subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and
remote server manageability. The iLO 3 subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory,
and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO 3 independent of the host server and its
operating system.
In addition to remote management features, iLO 3 is also responsible for managing the health of the
ProLiant server. The intelligence of iLO 3 manages the Sea of Sensors thermal control, directs the Dynamic
Power Capping technology, and monitors the health of server components.
The iLO 3 subsystem provides secure remote access from any authorized network client. The
enhancements to iLO 3 enable customers to get work done faster by providing turbo-charged remote
access performance, a streamlined user experience, and enhanced standards support.
Using iLO 3, you can do the following:
• Access a high-performance and secure Remote Console to the server from anywhere in the world.
• Use the shared iLO 3 Remote Console to collaborate with up to six server administrators.
• Remotely mount high-performance Virtual Media devices to the server.
• Securely and remotely control the power state of the managed server.
• Send alerts from iLO 3 regardless of the state of the host server.
• Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO 3 interface.
For more information about iLO 3 features (which may require an iLO Advanced Pack or iLO Advanced
for BladeSystem license), see the iLO 3 documentation on the Documentation CD or on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/iLO
