to restore the BIOS to its default setting:
1 Press while the initial HP logo is displayed immediately after
restarting the PC Workstation to access the Setup program.
2 Press to load the default settings from the Setup program.
3 Set the "Reset Configuration Data" to Yes in the Main menu.
It is recommended that before you make any modifications to the BIOS
you take note of the system setup.
