4 Troubleshooting Your Personal Workstation and Using the Setup Program

If an Error Message Appears

If a System ROM Message Appears
If the following system ROM error message appears:
Cannot display error messages
Flash ROM may be defective
the contents of the system ROM are corrupted or incomplete, and you
will need to update the system BIOS using the HPInit utility.
Contact your HP reseller (or your HP sales office) to get an HPInit
utility diskette and the latest system BIOS for your Personal
Workstation by mail.
Please specify the model number of your HP Vectra Personal
Workstation when ordering the HPInit utility and the latest system
BIOS.
If you have access to a PC with a modem or network connection, which
functions correctly, you can retrieve the latest system BIOS from one of
the HP Information Services described in chapter 6 HP Support and
Information Services.
To update the system BIOS:
1 Insert the HPInit utility diskette in drive A.
2 Switch the computer OFF and then ON, and follow the instructions
until the procedure finishes. Do NOT switch off the computer until
the system BIOS update procedure has completed (successfully or
not) since irrecoverable damage to the ROM may occur.
3 Remove the HPInit utility diskette.
4 Switch the computer OFF and then ON to initialize the system ROM.
