Desktop Management
When an invalid system BIOS image is detected, the system power LED will blink red 8 times,
one blink every second. Simultaneously, the speaker will beep 8 times. If the portion of the
system ROM containing the video option ROM image is not corrupt, “Boot Block Emergency
Recovery Mode” will be displayed on the screen.
To recover the system after it enters Boot Block Emergency Recovery Mode, complete the
following steps:
1. Turn off the power.
2. Insert a diskette, CD, or USB flash device containing the desired BIOS image file in the root
directory. Note: The media must be formatted using the FAT12, FAT16, or FAT32 file
system.
3. Turn on the computer.
If no appropriate BIOS image file is found, the failsafe Boot Block BIOS will attempt to start
the system from a bootable device. If no bootable device is found, you will be prompted to
insert media containing a BIOS image file or BIOS upgrade utility.
If the system successfully reprograms the ROM, the system will automatically power off.
4. Remove the removable media used to upgrade the BIOS.
5. Turn the power on to restart the computer.
3.4.4 Replicating the Setup
In a managed networked environment HP Client Manager or System Software Manager (SSM)
may be used to replicate a setup configuration to many systems. For more information on HP
Client Manger and SSM, visit

✎
Both procedures require a diskette drive or a supported USB flash media device, such as an HP
Drive Key.
Copying to Single Computer
Ä
CAUTION:
A setup configuration is model-specific. Unpredictable results may occur if source and target
computers are not the same model. For example, do not copy the setup configuration from a dc7nnn
Ultra-Slim Desktop to a dx6nnn Slim Tower.
1. Select a setup configuration to copy. Turn off the computer. If you are in Windows, click
Start > Shut Down > Shut Down.
2. If you are using a USB flash media device, insert it now.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. As soon as the computer is turned on, press and hold the
F10
key until you enter Computer
Setup. Press
Enter
to bypass the title screen, if necessary.
✎
If you do not press the
F10
key at the appropriate time, you must restart the computer and press
and hold the
F10
key again to access the utility.
If you are using a PS/2 keyboard, you may see a Keyboard Error message—disregard it.
5. If you are using a a diskette, insert it now.
