If the setup password is entered correctly, the ROMPaq
utility will take over and run the flash ROM upgrade on the
Deskpro 4000N.
✎
If the setup password is incorrectly entered, the procedure
will terminate and no changes will be made to the ROM.
Do not turn off the power to your computer until the
ROMPaq utility has completed the upgrade process.
7. When the utility finishes upgrading the ROM, remove the
diskette from the diskette drive, turn off both computers,
and disconnect the second computer from the Deskpro
4000N.
8. Restart the Deskpro 4000N.
Using Remote ROM Flash
Remote ROM Flash allows the system administrator to safely
upgrade the ROM on remote Compaq Deskpro 4000N Network
Personal Computers directly from the centralized network
management console. Enabling the system administrator to
perform this task remotely, on multiple computers, results in a
consistent deployment of and greater control over Deskpro
4000N ROM images over the network. It also results in greater
productivity and a lower total cost of ownership.
Compaq created the Remote ROM Flash capability to be secure
and fail-safe. All Deskpro 4000N ROMPaq ROM images from
Compaq are digitally signed to ensure authenticity and
minimize potential corruptions. The ROM firmware includes a
Boot Block that is protected during the flash process and allows
the computer to be restarted, in the unlikely event of an
unsuccessful ROM flash.
Remote ROM Flash is performed in two stages:
1. System administrator uses the Remote Management Setup
software on a centralized management console to prepare a
Deskpro 4000N ROMPaq file.
