Compaq 8000 - Elite Convertible Minitower PC Manual page 11

If Next is selected, the BIOS flashing process will begin, and the user is warned
not to interrupt the flashing process. Interrupting the flashing process can corrupt
the BIOS image. If the BIOS does not update successfully, the business PC would
enter flash recovery when rebooted.
After the flash process has successfully completed, the PC will be automatically
restarted or immediately if the user selects Restart before the timer expires. The
user can select Cancel to avoid the restart, but this is not recommended since the
updated BIOS image will not be in effect until the PC reboots.
