ROMPaq Utility
Flash ROM enables you to upgrade the firmware (BIOS) with system or option ROMPaq
utilities. To upgrade the BIOS, insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive and boot the
system.
The ROMPaq utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of
available ROM revisions. This procedure is the same for both system and option ROMPaq
utilities.
For more information about the ROMPaq utility, refer to the HP website
