HP/Phoenix BIOS Description

HP/Phoenix BIOS Description
1
The System ROM contains the BIOS (System BIOS, video BIOS and low-option ROM) and the power-on self-test
routines that allow you to view the results of the diagnostics and provide you with error corrective-action messages if
necessary.
The System BIOS can be updated by running the PHLASH utility with the latest BIOS firmware. This can be ordered from
HP or downloaded from one of the HP online services.

Power-On Self-Test (POST)

The Power-On Self-Test (POST)is executed each time the system is turned on or a reset is performed. The POST process
checks that system components are operating correctly and initializes certain system parameters.

Beep Codes

If a terminal error occurs during POST, the system issues a beep code before attempting to display the error. Beep codes
are useful for identifying the error when the system is unable to display the error messages.
