7. Replace the top cover. See “Replacing the Top Cover” (page 109).
The critical resource analysis (CRA) performed while doing an attention button initiated
replace action is very restrictive and the action will not complete–it will fail–to protect critical
resources from being impacted. For finer control over CRA actions use pdweb or the olrad
command. See the Interface Card OL* Support Guide located on the HP website at http://

Option ROM
To enable faster booting, system firmware does not auto-scan PCI devices with an Option ROM.
In order to boot from a PCI-connected device with an Option ROM, you must add IT to the table
of boot devices as follows:
To add an Option ROM, follow these steps:
1. Install the I/O card into the chassis.
2. Boot the server to the EFI shell.
3. Execute the EFI search command.
To add a single card:
search <cell> <pci_slot #>
To add all cards:
search all
4. Execute the following EFI command:
map –r
5. Enter the Boot Manager by executing the following command:
exit
6. From the EFI Boot Manager Menu, select “Boot Option Maintenance Menu” and then from
the Main Menu, select “Add a Boot Option”. Now add the device as a new boot device.
Updating Option ROMs
The Option ROM on a PCI I/O card can be “flashed” or updated. To flash an I/O card, follow
these steps:
1. Install the I/O card into the chassis.
2. Boot the server to the EFI shell.
3. Execute the EFI search command.
To add a single card:
search <cell> <pci_slot #>
To add all cards:
search all
4. Execute the following EFI command:
map –r
NOTE: Each I/O card type and firmware image update may require a different flash utility
and procedure. Follow the instructions in the .txt file included with the latest HP IPF
Offline Diagnostic & Utilities CDROM.
5. Load the HP IPF Offline Diagnostic & Utilities CDROM.
The CDROM contains the flash utility for IO each card type, firmware images, and a .txt
file that includes instructions and information about updating the firmware images.
