Installing a System ROM

The easiest way to install a system ROM is from a diskette.

NOTE: A system ROM cannot be installed directly from any other drive medium, including a SuperDisk LS-120 disk. A system ROM can be installed directly from your hard drive only if you start up the computer and perform the installation in MS-DOS.

The procedures for downloading a ROMPaq or loading a system ROM from a Compaq CD-ROM include the extraction of the installation files to a diskette.

Be sure you have removed the diskette containing the system ROM from the drive before beginning the following procedure.

1.Shut down the computer.

2.Connect the computer to an electrical outlet.

CAUTION: The system ROM will not install properly if the computer is docked or running on battery power. During the installation, do not shut down or unplug the computer.

3.Insert the diskette containing the system ROM into a diskette drive or a SuperDisk LS-120 drive.

4.Turn on the computer, then follow the instructions on the screen.

5.When a message on the screen confirms that the installation is complete, remove the diskette from the drive.

6.To complete the installation, shut down the computer.

NOTE: Do not restart the computer immediately after installing a system ROM. To continue working after a message on the screen reports that the installation is complete, shut down the computer, wait 10 seconds, then turn on the computer.
