Summary
HP’s Business PC BIOS provides update methods to allow the user or administrator to manage the BIOS
and ME upgrades in a flexible manner. ME firmware images can be updated locally in a DOS or Win-
dows environment. HPQFlash offers a familiar, Windows application interface that allows the user to con-
fidently update the BIOS. Setup-based-flash and recovery provides a convenient, local upgrade method
which is not dependent on the PC operating system. The Flashbin utility provides a traditional DOS
upgrade operation for local or remote situations. Administrators can use the remote management capabil-
ities of such tools as SSM and Altiris to deliver enterprise wide upgrade ability.
Regardless of the BIOS or ME flash method, business PC products provide a high degree of upgrade reli-
ability and offer failure safe recovery.
