To download a BIOS update:
1. Access the updates on the HP Web site at
http://www.hp.com.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to identify your Slate and access the BIOS update you want to
download.
3. At the download area, follow these steps:
a. Identify the BIOS update that is later than the BIOS version currently installed on your
Slate. 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.
Make a note of the path to the location on your hard drive where the BIOS update is to be
downloaded. You will need to access this path when you are ready to install the update.
NOTE: If you connect your Slate to a network, consult the network administrator before
installing any software updates, especially system BIOS updates.
BIOS installation procedures vary. Follow any instructions that are displayed on the screen after the
download is complete. If no instructions are displayed, follow these steps:
1. Open Windows Explorer by tapping Start > Computer.
2. Double-tap your hard drive designation. The hard drive designation is typically Local Disk (C:).
3. Using the hard drive path you recorded earlier, open the folder on your hard drive that contains
the update.
4. Double-tap the file that has an .exe extension (for example, filename.exe).
The BIOS installation begins.
5. Complete the installation by following the instructions on the screen.
NOTE: After a message on the screen reports a successful installation, you can delete the
downloaded file from your hard drive.
