After the ROMPaq utility flashes the ROM for the selected devices, cycle power manually to reboot
the system back into the operating system.
This procedure is most effective when flashing the ROM on a small number of servers located in close

upgrades for storage options are now delivered using Smart Components and Smart Component
deployment utilities.
For additional information about the ROMPaq utility, refer to the server documentation or the HP website
