Your e-pc’s BIOS
The BIOS (Basic Input Output System) in your e-pc has the following
roles:
•
It tests and configures your e-pc’s hardware components during the
POST (Power On Self-Test).
•
It lets you configure your e-pc by using the
Setup
program. See “HP
Setup program” on page 38.
•
It provides the link between the software running on your e-pc and your
e-pc’s hardware.
The BIOS is stored in a chip on the system board. An e-pc’s BIOS is
specific to that e-pc.
Updating your e-pc’s BIOS
Many problems with your e-pc can be solved by updating (flashing) the
e-pc’s BIOS.
Updating (flashing) your BIOS is a simple procedure that involves booting
your e-pc from a floppy disk containing the new BIOS.
The latest BIOS for your e-pc along with instructions on updating can be
downloaded from HP’s e-pc Support Web site at:
