To update the BIOS
Hewlett-Packard may update the BIOS to enhance the capabilities of the OmniBook
3000. Updates will be available from HP Electronic Support Services. Refer to the
OmniBook Support chapter (page 5-17) for more information.
Important

these instructions exactly.
The BIOS update process resets the configuration settings in the System
Configuration Utility except for the PC Identification and Passwords.
1. Press the System Off button located on the back panel of the OmniBook
between the Video and Parallel ports.

4. Remove any PC Cards.
5. Insert the BIOS Update disk.
6. Press the power button.
7. Choose the correct language.
8. Press C when prompted. This starts a process that takes approximately one
minute.
9. Press the System Off button on the back panel when prompted.
Do not interrupt the update process.
