Software Updates
To stay current with the newest technology and maintain optimal
performance, install the latest versions of HP software on your
computer as they become available.
To update HP software:
1. Identify your computer model, product category, and series
or family. Prepare for a system BIOS update by identifying
the BIOS version currently installed on the computer.
Ä
CAUTION: If your computer is connected to a network, it is
recommended that you consult with your network administrator before
installing any software updates, especially system BIOS updates.
✎
The computer system BIOS is stored on the system ROM. The
BIOS initializes the operating system, determines how the
computer will interact with the hardware devices, and provides
for data transfer among hardware devices, including the time
and date.
2. Access the updates through the HP Web site
(
http://www.hp.com) or the Support Software disc (purchased
separately).
3. Install the updates.
