To recover the system after it enters Boot Block recovery mode:
1.
If there is a diskette in the diskette drive or a CD in the CD drive, remove the diskette and CD, and
power down the system.
2.
Insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive, or if permitted on this workstation, insert a
ROMPaq CD into the CD drive. USB media such as an HP DriveKey can also be used.
3.
Power on the workstation.
If no ROMPaq diskette or ROMPaq CD is found, you will be prompted to insert one and restart the
workstation.
If a setup password has been established, the Caps Lock light illuminates and you are prompted
to enter the password.
4.
Enter the setup password.
If the system successfully starts from the diskette and successfully reprograms the ROM, then the
three keyboard lights illuminate. A rising tone series of beeps also signals successful completion.
5.
Remove the diskette or CD, and restart the system.
The following table lists the various keyboard light combinations used by the Boot Block ROM (when a
PS/2 keyboard is attached to the workstation) and explains the meaning and action associated with
