HP OmniBook 6000 - How to Update the Computer BIOS

In this document:

To update the computer BIOS

Hewlett-Packard may provide updates to the BIOS to enhance the capabilities of your computer. Updates will be available from the HP Customer Care Web site. You may click here to go to the HP Customer Care Web site (http://www.hp.com/go/support). Download the BIOS update and follow the instructions in the Readme.txt file on how to create the BIOS update floppy disk.

    CAUTION: Because a BIOS update replaces the previous version, you must follow these instructions exactly, or you risk damaging your computer. The BIOS update process resets the configuration settings in the BIOS Setup utility, except for the PC Identification and BIOS passwords.

  1. Remove any PC Cards.
  2. If the notebook is docked, undock it.
  3. Connect the ac adapter to the notebook.
  4. Insert the BIOS update disk in the floppy disk drive.
  5. Restart the computer: Click Start, Shut Down, Restart.
  6. Follow the onscreen instructions. This starts a process that takes approximately one minute. Once the update process begins, do not interrupt it.
  7. When the process is completed, reset the computer by inserting a straightened paper clip into the system-off switch on the right side of the computer.
