Downloading a BIOS update

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the computer or an unsuccessful installation, download

and install a BIOS update only when the computer is connected to reliable external power
using the AC adapter. Do not download or install a BIOS update while the computer is running
on battery power, connected to an optional expansion product, or connected to an optional
power source. During the download and installation:

Do not disconnect power from the computer by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet.

Do not shut down the computer or initiate standby or hibernation.

Do not insert, remove, connect, or disconnect any device, cable, or cord.

To download a BIOS update:

1.

Visit the HP Web site at

http://www.hp.com

and click the software and drivers download link.

2.

Follow the instructions on the screen to identify the computer and access the BIOS update you
want to download.

3.

At the download area:

a.

Identify the newest BIOS update that is later than the BIOS version currently installed on
the computer. Make a note of the date, name, or other identifier. You may need this
information to locate the update later, after it has been downloaded to your hard drive.

b.

Follow the instructions on the screen to download your selection to the hard drive.

NOTE

Make a note of the path to the location on your hard drive where the BIOS

update will be downloaded. You will need to access this path when you are ready to
install the update.
