If no ROMPaq diskette or ROMPaq CD is found, you will be prompted to insert one and restart the
workstation.
If a setup password has been established, the Caps Lock light will illuminate and you will be
prompted to enter the password.
4. Enter the setup password.
If the system successfully starts from the diskette and successfully reprograms the ROM, then the
three keyboard lights will illuminate. A rising tone series of beeps also signals successful
completion.
5. Remove the diskette or CD and power off the system.
6. Restart the workstation.
The following table lists the various keyboard light combinations used by the Boot Block ROM (when a
PS2 keyboard is attached to the workstation) and explains the meaning and action associated with each
combination.

Replicating the setup
The following procedures enable you to easily copy one setup configuration to other workstations of the
same model for faster, more consistent configuration of multiple workstations.
NOTE: Both procedures require a diskette drive or a USB device such as an HP Drive Key.
To collect and replicate BIOS settings on multiple computers, use System Software Manager or HP
Client Manager Software. For more information, see
http://www.hp.com/go/easydeploy.
Copying to a single workstation
CAUTION: A setup configuration is model-specific. File system corruption can result if source and
target workstations are not the same model. For example, do not copy the setup configuration from an
HP xw6200 Workstation to an HP xw6400 Workstation.
1. Select a setup configuration to copy, and reboot the workstation.
2. As soon as the workstation powers on, press and hold the F10 key until you enter the Computer
Setup (F10) Utility. Press Enter to bypass the title screen, if necessary.
NOTE: If you do not press the F10 key at the appropriate time, you must restart the workstation
and press and hold the F10 key again to access the utility.
If you are using a PS2 keyboard, you may see a Keyboard Error message—disregard it.
