Software Updates and Restorations
Preparing for a Software Update
If your tablet PC connects to a network, Compaq recommends
that you consult with your network administrator before installing
any software updates, particularly system ROM or KBC
(keyboard controller) ROM updates.
Accessing Tablet PC Model Information
To access the updates for your tablet PC, you may need to know
the following information about your tablet PC:
■
The product category is tablet PC.
■
The product family name and series number are printed in the
upper left corner of the display bezel.
■
Complete model information is provided on the product
identification label on the back of the tablet PC.
The tablet PC product name, model, serial number, and other
identification information are also available on the Main tab of
the Setup utility. For access instructions, see “Displaying ROM
Information in the Setup Utility,” later in this section.
Accessing ROM Version Information
To determine whether available ROM updates contain later ROM
versions than those currently installed on the tablet PC, you need
to know the version of the system ROM or KBC ROM currently
installed.
ROM version information can be displayed in either Compaq
Diagnostics or the Setup utility.
Displaying ROM Information in Compaq Diagnostics
Compaq Diagnostics is preloaded, but not preinstalled, on the
tablet PC. For information about detecting or installing Compaq
Diagnostics, see the “Setup, Diagnostic and Support Utilities”
chapter, “Using Compaq Diagnostics” section.
