Updating the Notebook’s BIOS

Hewlett-Packard may from time to time provide updates to the notebook’s BIOS. These updates will be available from the technical support area of the HP Notebook web site (see page vii). Download the update and follow the instructions in the readme.txt file to create a BIOS update floppy disk.

Caution

The BIOS update completely replaces the previous BIOS, so follow these directions exactly or you might damage the notebook. The BIOS update also resets the configurations in the BIOS Setup utility, and erases any BIOS passwords, so you should record these before performing the update.

Once you have created the BIOS update floppy disk, use it to update the notebook’s BIOS as follows:

1.Undock the notebook if it is docked, and remove any PC cards from it.

2.Connect the AC adapter to the notebook.

3.Insert the BIOS update disk in the floppy disk drive.

4.Restart the notebook by pressing the blue standby button.

5.Follow the instructions that appear on-screen. Do not interrupt the process once it begins or you might damage the notebook.

6.When the process is complete, remove the BIOS update disk from the notebook, then reset the notebook by pressing its system-off switch.

7.Restart the notebook by pressing the blue standby button.
