To Update BIOS

HP regularly posts a new version of the HP ProLiant ML110 server BIOS on their website at
www.hp.com
To update the server's BIOS Setup Utility with the latest version:
1. Create the BIOS Update/Recovery diskette as described in the previous section.
2. Insert the BIOS Update/Recovery diskette into the server's FDD.
3. Reboot the server to the BIOS Update/Recovery diskette.
This action will automatically flash the BIOS from the diskette to the server.
4. Remove the BIOS Update/Recovery diskette and then reboot the server.
5. During POST, press F2 to access the Setup Utility.
6. Make the necessary changes (such as system time, passwords, or boot device priority).
7. Press F10 to save the changes you made and close the Setup Utility.

To Reset the BIOS Settings

The default BIOS settings have been selected to optimize the HP ProLiant ML110 server's
performance.
To reset the BIOS settings to the factory defaults:
1. Reboot the server in a normal manner.
2. During POST, press F2 to access the Setup Utility.
3. Press F9 to load the default values.
NOTE: It is recommended that you take note of the system setup before making any modifications to
the BIOS settings.
4. Press F10 to save the changes you made and close the Setup Utility.

To Perform BIOS Recovery

Perform this procedure if the BIOS flash ROM has become corrupted. Your HP ProLiant
ML110 server supports a boot block function that lets you perform a recovery routine that
would:
•
Initialize system hardware and run the flash application program.
•
Boot the server to the BIOS Recovery/Update diskette.
•
Load the flash ROM update program from the BIOS Recovery/Update diskette into the
system memory.
•
Re-program the system BIOS ROM with a copy of the original or upgraded system BIOS
from the BIOS Recovery/Update diskette.
