To update the OmniBook BIOS
OmniBook BIOS updates are available from the HP Customer Care website at
http://www.hp.com/cposupport/eschome.html. You may receive a BIOS update on a
floppy disk or on a CD.
CAUTION
Because a BIOS update replaces the previous version, it is very important you
follow these instructions exactly. Otherwise, the OmniBook may be damaged. The
BIOS update process resets the configuration settings in the BIOS Setup utility
except for the PC Identification and Password.
1. From the Start menu, shut down the OmniBook.
2. Connect the ac adapter to the OmniBook.
3. Remove any PC Cards and, if docked, undock the OmniBook.
4. Insert the BIOS Update disk or CD in the appropriate drive.
5. Press the blue power button.
If you’re using a CD-ROM drive in the module bay, press ESC two times when you
see the HP logo. Select the CD-ROM drive as the boot device.
6. When prompted, choose the correct language.
7. Follow the onscreen instructions. This starts a process that takes approximately
1 minute. Once it begins, do not interrupt the update process.
To replace a damaged Recovery CD
If you lose or damage the Recovery CD, take your OmniBook and Certificate of
Authenticity to an HP Service Center to be replaced. If you mail your OmniBook for this
service, you must provide a photocopy of the Certificate of Authenticity along with
payment.
