4. Boot the HP server with the BIOS update diskette in the flexible disk drive. The BIOS
Utility Update program will start and you will be prompted to update the system BIOS.

HP server.

NOTE:
If you do not have convenient access to the Internet, you can create a BIOS Update/Recovery
diskette from the
HP Startup CD-ROM
. Please note that the CD-ROM may not provide the most recent
BIOS. To create the BIOS Update/Recovery diskette, run
HP Startup CD-ROM
on any Windows PC
with an HTML browser and follow the menu instructions.
Clearing the BIOS Configuration
NOTE:
It is recommended that the system’s setup and configuration settings be noted before clearing
the BIOS configuration as this will reset all settings back to the default.
You may need to clear the BIOS (CMOS) configuration if the configuration has become
corrupt or if incorrect settings made in the Setup Utility have caused error messages to be
unreadable.
To clear the configuration, refer to “Clearing the CMOS Configuration” in Chapter 3 for the
detailed information.

without having to enter any password.
