1. Download the file by clicking the Download or Obtain Software button and
saving the file to a folder on your local drive (make a note of the folder where
the downloaded file is saved). The default location is C:\SWSETUP\SP79015.

2. Dock the notebook unit to the HP 2013 Ultraslim Docking Station.

3. Connect a monitor to the docking station DP port using the native DisplayPort
or a DP-to-VGA adapter on the dock DP port. Then make sure the monitor is
enabled (powered on) from the Windows Display Manager.

4. After the DP monitor is enabled and powered on, double click the file,
DP_FW_Updater.exe, to run the executable. Then search for the firmware file,
which is Ver2_33_000.eeprom for this release. Double click the file to start the
process.

WARNING: Do not disconnect the notebook from the dock or remove the DP monitor
during this process. Performing either of these actions may cause the DP ports
to become unusable. If this happens, the DP ports can be recovered by following
the same update process.

5. Verify that the update was successfully completed by observing the status of
the tool. The status should display the message, Action complete. Downloading to
storage...Success.

6. After the update is complete, undock and re-dock the notebook to enable the
new DisplayPort controller firmware version.
