DESCRIPTION:
This SoftPaq creates files that contain a binary image for the System ROM for 
the Compaq Evo D500, D300, and W4000 models with a 686Y2 Family ROM.  

This SoftPaq is used to flash the System ROM on target PCs on a network, and it 
requires System Software Manager (SSM) or Remote Management Setup.

The ROM Family and ROM date can be determined by running the Setup Utility by 
pressing F10 on the target computer during system power on of the computer, and 
viewing File/System Information.  This information can be saved into a text 
file by selecting File/Save to Diskette.

ENHANCEMENTS/FIXES:
 - This is the same System ROM version that was originally included on the above 
   models.  It is not an upgrade.  It is made available here as a convenience 
   for users who may need to restore it to their computer for any reason.

HOW TO USE:

1.  Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive.  The file 
downloaded is a self-extracting executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq 
Number above.

2.  Refer to the remote utility documentation for instructions on creating a 
Remote ROM Flash job to flash the System ROM on target PCs on the network.

WARNING:  DO NOT TURN OFF POWER OR ATTEMPT TO REBOOT THE COMPUTER DURING THE
