HP ML330 g6 server (rompaq)

[professor_jonny]

I have a HP ML330 g6 server spare and I'm wondering would it be possible to preform an SLIC mod.


The server is spare form a work upgrade to a new ml110 so I'm not worried if it ends up dead non recoverable as I was given it to play with as it is just sitting there doing nothing.

I have preformed a RW report and dumped the bios out of the Rompaq container in to a bios.rom image provided from a download at HP.
I have then dumped the bios using the universal bios backup tool kit and verified the two match after stripping off the upper 4mb backup image.

The bios is structured in a 8mb and the first half is the normal bios and the second half is backup bios image that ilo flashes back automatically if the bios becomes corrupt I believe.

I have attempted to open it with the tools available from Andy but as you would expect it wont open the custom HP bios image.


I have opened the bios in a hex editor and there is plain human readable text in there so I don't think it is encrypted in any way.


Where to go to from here as I have no idea where to start but I'm keen to have a play and get dirty as you would say?

Below is the verified bios dump and RW report if any one is interested.
