Access to redundant ROM settings

To access the redundant ROM through RBSU:

  1. Access RBSU by pressing the F9 key during powerup when the prompt is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen.
  2. Select Advanced Options.
  3. Select Redundant ROM Selection.
  4. Select the ROM version.
  5. Press the Enter key.
  6. Press the Esc key to exit the current menu or press the F10 key to exit RBSU. The server restarts automatically.

To access the redundant ROM manually:

  1. Power down the server.
  2. Remove the access panel.
  3. Set positions 1, 5, and 6 of the system maintenance switch to On.
  4. Install the access panel.
  5. Power up the server.
  6. Wait for the server to emit two beeps.
  7. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
  8. Set positions 1, 5, and 6 of the system maintenance switch to Off.
  9. Repeat steps 4 and 5.

When the server boots, the system identifies whether the current ROM bank is corrupt. If a corrupt ROM is detected, the system boots from the backup ROM and alerts you through POST or IML that the ROM bank is corrupt.

If both the current and backup versions of the ROM are corrupt, the server automatically enters ROMPaq disaster recovery mode.
