IMPORTANT: Updating BIOS without suspending BitLocker may cause the loss of access to the encrypted data. BitLocker 
protection automatically resumes the next time you restart your system. 
•  Suspending BitLocker can be done manually in the Control Panel or can be automated by executing HPBIOSUPDREC 
command line “HPBIOSUPDREC –b”. 
•  The version of the firmware image in the update file and the firmware version of the current system are displayed. The 
user is notified that the firmware will be overwritten. 
•  Show password field if Bios has set an administrator password. 
•  Upon completion, you see the message that the Firmware update preparation was successful. Select Restart.
