HOW TO USE:
System BIOS is independent of the operating system. To determine the BIOS family
and BIOS date, press F10 on the target workstation during Power On to run the
Computer Setup Utility, and then select File/"System Information". This
information can be saved into a text file on a USB flash media device by
selecting File/"Save to Removable Storage Device".

For a USB flash media device to be recognized by the workstation, the device
must be attached before the workstation is Powered On.

SPECIAL NOTE: When updating to this BIOS version from a BIOS prior to v1.20, you
must Apply Defaults or clear CMOS for the USB hard drive placeholder in the
F9-Boot Menu to properly initialize.

To Apply Defaults:
1. Press the ESC key as the system is first booting to enter the Startup Menu.
2. Select "Computer Setup (F10)" or press the F10 key.
3. Highlight and select the option "Apply Defaults and Exit" under the File menu
in the Setup utility.

This SoftPaq includes the following methods for changing the BIOS version:
- Use HPQFlash to upgrade the BIOS directly in a Microsoft Windows environment.
- Use the utilities in this package to flash the BIOS in a DOS environment from
bootable media.
- Use the ROM images in this package with the Computer Setup Utility (F10) to
flash the BIOS from a USB flash drive or CD-ROM drive.

This package can be used with HP System Software Manager (SSM), HP Client
Management Solution (HPCMS), or pre-boot execution environment (PXE) management
software for remote updating of the BIOS.

WARNING: DO NOT TURN OFF POWER OR ATTEMPT TO REBOOT THE COMPUTER DURING THE
UPGRADE PROCESS!

1. Download the file by clicking the "Download" or "Obtain Software" button and
saving the file to a folder on your hard drive (make a note of the folder where
the downloaded file is saved).

2. Double-click the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to
update the System BIOS.

NOTE: If remote flashing is required, see the remote utility documentation for
instructions about creating a Remote ROM Flash job to flash the System ROM on
target workstations on the network.
