4. Boot the HP server with the BIOS update diskette in the flexible disk drive. The BIOS
Utility Update program will start and you will be prompted to update the system BIOS.

HP server.

needed in the BIOS Setup Utility, press the F10 key to save the changes and exit the

NOTE: If you do not have convenient access to the Internet, you can create a BIOS Update/Recovery
diskette from the HP Startup CD-ROM. Please note that the CD-ROM may not provide the most recent
BIOS. To create the BIOS Update/Recovery diskette, run HP Startup CD-ROM on any Windows PC
with an HTML browser and follow the menu instructions.

Clearing the BIOS Configuration

NOTE: It is recommended that the system's setup and configuration settings be noted before clearing
the BIOS configuration as this will reset all settings back to the default.
You may need to clear the BIOS (CMOS) configuration if the configuration has become
corrupt or if incorrect settings made in the Setup Utility have caused error messages to be
unreadable.
To clear the configuration, refer to "Clearing the CMOS Configuration" in Chapter 3 for the
detailed information.
