I got an old server for free, The server will power on but there's no video, just the loud fans. All lights are green.
I found out

that i need to set dipswitches in disaster mode and reinstall a ROMPaq but the only files i can find are ROMPaq update files

does anyone know where the right ROMPaq is?

It's a DL580g1 with a single 700MHz proc.

Do you mean update or upgrade?

Try this one first.

I think i don't need an update file because the update file can't update a crashed BIOS?

Or is the update file a updated complete BIOS
wich replaces the old BIOS ?
In that case i can use this file, but i was thinking that somewhere in the HP forums a message was telling that i need 4 disks for a bios re-flash, that's why i'm in doubt.
