Software Updates
For optimal notebook performance and to make sure your
notebook remains compatible with changing technologies, HP
recommends that you install the latest versions of HP software
as they become available.
To update HP software:
1. Prepare for any update by identifying your notebook type,
series or family, and model. Refer to the “Accessing
Notebook Information” section, later in this chapter. Prepare
for a system ROM update by identifying (through the
Computer Setup utility) the ROM version currently installed
on the notebook.
Ä
CAUTION: If your notebook is connected to a network, it is
recommended that you consult with your network administrator before
installing any software updates, especially system ROM updates.
