To update the BIOS

Hewlett-Packard may update the BIOS to enhance the capabilities of the OmniBook 3000. Updates will be available from HP Electronic Support Services. Refer to the OmniBook Support chapter (page 5-17) for more information.

Because a BIOS update replaces the previous version, it is very important you follow these instructions exactly.

The BIOS update process resets the configuration settings in the System Configuration Utility except for the PC Identification and Passwords.

1.Press the System Off button located on the back panel of the OmniBook between the Video and Parallel ports.

2.Undock.

3.Plug in the ac adapter.

4.Remove any PC Cards.

5.Insert the BIOS Update disk.

6.Press the power button.

7.Choose the correct language.

8.Press C when prompted. This starts a process that takes approximately one minute.

9.Press the System Off button on the back panel when prompted. Do not interrupt the update process.
