DESCRIPTION: 

Provides a solution for Restoration Recovery on Compaq ProLiant 1000 servers.
This ROMPaq is meant only for Restoration Recoverly.
If the latest System ROMPaq Diskette for normal updating of the system 
ROM to the latest available version is desired then System ROMPAQ Firmware
upgrade diskette 2.13 B should be used.  The Softpaq number for System ROMPaq 
Firmware Upgrade diskette 2.13 B is SP0971. 

HOW TO USE

Print this file to the printer, as it will be needed during the ROMPaq
build and upgrade process.

System ROMPaq Diskette Build Instructions

1. The following files should have been created when the SoftPaq file was
   unpacked.  Verify that these files are present in your current
   directory.

     README.TXT (this file)
     QRST5.EXE
     ROMPAQ._01

2. Obtain a formatted 1.44 MB 3.5 inch diskette.

3. Create the diskette image by running this command at the DOS prompt:

     QRST (and press ENTER)

4. The "Choose the Transfer Type..." prompt appears.

   Choose the highlighted, default selection "All diskettes in the Set"
   by pressing ENTER.

5. The "You will need to have the specified number of each type(s) of
   pre-formatted media..." prompt appears.  It is asking for one 1.44 MB
   diskette.

   Verify that you have a formatted 1.44 MB diskette and press ENTER to
   accept and continue.

   IMPORTANT: Only a 1.44 MB diskette can be used, other types of media
              cannot be substituted.

6. The "Create diskette number one, insert a 1.44 MB diskette into drive
   [A] or [B]" prompt is given.  (Either A or B will be included in the
   prompt, depending on where your 3.5 inch diskette drive is located.)

   If the drive shown in the prompt is not the one you wish to use,
   change the value by pressing either A or B.

   At this point, you can optionally print a label (if your printer is
   attached) by pressing F5.

   To begin diskette creation, press ENTER.

7. A counter box will be displayed during creation showing status.  The
   number of cylinders will count up to 80.

8. When QRST has completed, it will exit back to DOS with the message:

     "QRST: Transfer Completed"

9. At this point, the Systems/User ROMPaq diskette has been created and is
   ready to use for upgrading the installed options.

Systems ROMPaq Upgrade Instructions

1. Insert the Systems/User ROMPaq diskette into the bootable floppy drive.

2. Power cycle the system.

   Turn unit off then back on.

3. After ROMPaq has scanned the system for installed and supported
   devices, a screen appears indicating the Systems/User ROMPaq diskette
   version.

     Press Enter

4. A list of images installed and supported by this version of the
   Systems/User ROMPaq diskette will then be displayed.  Press Enter to
   select the desired image on the list.

5. After pressing Enter, ROMPaq will check to see if there is a newer
   firmware image available on the diskette for the selected device.  One
   of two possibilities exist:

   If a newer firmware image IS NOT available on the diskette, ROMPaq
   will display a message indicating this.  In this case, press Enter AND
   PROCEED TO STEP NUMBER EIGHT below.

   If a newer firmware image IS available on the diskette, ROMPaq will
   prompt you to "Select an image".  Normally, there will only be a
   single firmware image to select, so press Enter to select the firmware
   revision shown.

6. When ROMPaq asks you whether it is OK to reprogram the selected
   device(s), press Enter to proceed.

   Do not interrupt the Flash reprogramming process in any way, or the
   firmware on the device being programmed may be destroyed.

   This means:

   1. Do not turn off power, and
   2. Do not remove or install hot-pluggable disk drives.

   Wait for the Flash process to complete.

7. When the Flash process has completed, a message will be displayed
   indicating this.  Press Enter to continue.  (If an error occurs, call
   the Compaq technical support hotline)

8. ROMPaq will confirm that you want to continue to reprogram the ROM.
   Press Enter to verify that you do and continue with the flash process.

9. When prompted, remove the ROMPaq diskette from the floppy drive and
   power cycle the system.
