Failsafe Boot Block ROM
The computer comes with a reprogrammable flash system ROM (read only memory). To upgrade the ROM, you may:
a. Order an upgraded ROMPaq diskette from HP. or
b. Download the latest ROMPaq images from the HP Web site (www.hp.com)
All ROMPaq ROM images from HP are digitally signed to ensure authenticity and minimize potential corruption. Your system ROM includes a Failsafe Boot Block that is protected during the flash process and allows the computer to be restarted in the unlikely event of an unsuccessful ROM flash.
If the system detects an invalid system ROM during the boot sequence the system will sound one long and three short beeps, flash the three keyboard LEDs twice, and display a recovery mode message on the screen. To recover from the Boot Block recovery mode complete the following steps:
1.Remove any diskettes from the diskette drive and turn off power.
2.Insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive.
3.Turn on power to the system.
4.If a Setup password has been established, the Caps Lock LED will come on to prompt you for the password. Enter the password.
5.A successful boot and ROM flashing
Security Functions
The system offers two passwords
To establish a password:
1.Turn on or restart the computer. If you are in Windows, click Start > Shut Down > Restart the computer.
2.When the F10 Setup message appears in the
F10 key. Press Enter to bypass the title screen, if necessary. If you do not press F10 when prompted, a restart will be necessary.
3.Select Security, then select Setup Password or
