Utilities and appropriate BIOS images are contained in each of thedirectories as follows:- A DOS utility that can be usedlocally or with a Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) management application toupdate or restore the System BIOS.- A utility to locally update orrestore the System BIOS on individual PCs in the Microsoft Windowsoperating system. No backup will be made of the current System BIOS.This Softpaq can also be used with the following methods of updating theSystem BIOS:- Use this SoftPaqwith System Software Manager (SSM) to update the System BIOS on target PCs overthe local area network. Place this SoftPaq in your SSM Filestore folder and thenupdate the database. SSM is a free utility provided by Hewlett-Packard Company.

Forinformation on SSM, see.- Use this Softpaqwith HP Client Manager Software (HPCMS) and Altiris Notification Server toremotely target, distribute, and update the System BIOS on networked PCs. Placethis SoftPaq in your HPCMS Filestore folder and then update the database.

HPCMS isa free management application provided by Altiris and Hewlett-Packard Company.For information on HPCMS, see.NOTE: The Business Desktops BIOS Utilities SoftPaq is also available on the web.It contains additional utilities to support Hewlett-Packard Company products.The BIOS Utilities SoftPaq will be shown when searching for software support ofproducts in the category BIOS and Firmware. HPQFlash.exe is a utility which is designed to flash the System BIOS within aMicrosoft Windows environment. To display the available options for this utility, enterPathHPQFlash -? At a command prompt or local search box. If the system has a BIOS Setuppassword enabled, then HPQFlash will prompt for the password to be entered before completingthe flash process. For more information, view or,both located in the HPQFlash folder. If you wish to update your BIOS usingHPQFlash, click the link below.

If prompted with a File Download dialog box,please select 'Open' or 'Run from current location'. Using a USB Device to run HPQFlashHPQFlash.exe can also be run from a USB storage device, includingflash memory devices and external hard drives. To do this,insert the device and take note of the assigned drive letter. CopyHPQFlash.exe and ROM.CAB to the root of the drive indicated by the drive letter,or a folder on that drive. HPQFlash can then be executed from its location on theUSB device.

If the system has a BIOS Setup password enabled, then HPQFlash willprompt for the password to be entered before completing the flash process. Formore information, viewor, bothlocated in the HPQFlash folder. The HP Business Desktop systems provide a BIOS upgrade option through boththe Startup Menu and the F10 Setup utility using the 'Flash System ROM'feature. Reboot the PC and press the Escape key to display the Startup Menu.Use the arrow keys to select Utilities, and then select the Flash System ROMoption. Alternatively, reboot the PC and press F10 to access the BIOS Setuputility. In the File menu, select Flash System ROM.

Either methodrequires that removable media be present (USB storage or data CD) that containsthe BIOS binary image file in the root directory. The binaryimage file can be found in the DOS Flash folder and is namedxxxMMmm.bin where 'xxx' is the BIOS family, 'MM' isthe major version number, and 'mm' is the minor version number.To create a CD for updating the BIOS, use a blank CD-R or CD-RW disk on a systemwith a CD-RW or DVD+RW drive, and write the binary to the disk using any CD-burningsoftware (Windows 7 and Vista support burning data CDs without additional software).If a BIOS Setup password has been set, the password will be required before beingable to access the 'Flash System ROM' menu.

The user is notified when theprocess is completed. The new BIOS code will not take effect until the PC isrestarted. DOS Flash (DOSFlash.exe, FlshUefi.cpu) is the DOS-compatible System BIOS flashutility that can be used from a DOS bootable storage device (where 'DOS'refers to any of a number of compatible operating systems such as FreeDOS, MS-DOSor DR-DOS). FlshUefi.cpu is the required driver for DOSFlash.exe. To flash the SystemBIOS from a bootable USB storage device, you will need to copy the contents of theDOS Flash folder to the USB device, boot the PC from the USB device, and executethe DOSFlash application. To see a more complete description of the DOS flashutilities, viewlocated in the DOS Flash folder.

This folder also contains the required binary imageof the BIOS. The binary image file is named xxxMMmm.bin where 'xxx'is the BIOS family, 'MM' is the major version number, and 'mm'is the minor version number. This file can be copied to the root directory ofany USB removable medium for use with the F10 setup 'Flash System ROM'option. In the event of a failed BIOS update (for example if power is lost while updating),the System BIOS may become corrupted.

BootBlock Emergency Recovery Mode detects this condition and will automatically search the hard drive and any USB media sources (hard drive, flash drive, etc) for a compatible binary image.The original factory image will have a suitable BIOS binary for automatic recovery without user intervention. Otherwise, the binary (.bin) file in theshould be copied to the root (top level) of the desired storage device in a FAT or FAT32 partition, and the system powered on. Once the binary image is located, the BIOS will display a recovery screen and will start the recovery process. Do not power off the system until recovery is complete.Aside from the root (top level) of a hard drive or USB device, there are two alternate paths that are searched for the recovery binary file. These can be used to configure for automatic recovery a system which has had the original hard drive image replaced or reinstalled with system software recovery media. The two valid paths for recovery other than root are 'Hewlett-PackardBIOSCurrent' and 'EFIHPBIOSCurrent'.If the system has a BIOS Setup password, you may be required to use the Startup Menu / Utilities submenu to flash the BIOS manually after providing the password.Sometimes there are restrictions on which BIOS versions are allowed to be installed on a platform.

If the BIOS that was onthe system had restrictions, then only allowable BIOS versions may be used for recovery.
