Enabling ROMPaq Disaster Recovery Mode
A corrupted system ROM requires you to recreate the ROM BIOS by using the ROM flash
utility. This can be accomplished only when the system is in disaster recovery mode. Set
configuration switches 1, 4, 5, and 6 on the system maintenance switch block to on to enable
disaster recovery mode.
IMPORTANT: Before enabling ROMPaq disaster recovery mode, refer to the HP Servers
Troubleshooting Guide for complete instructions on disaster recovery.
