Downloading a BIOS update
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the device or an unsuccessful installation, download and install a
BIOS update only when the device is connected to reliable external power using the AC adapter. Do
not download or install a BIOS update while the device is running on battery power, docked in an optional
docking device, or connected to an optional power source. During the download and installation, follow
these instructions:
Do not disconnect power from the device by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet.
Do not shut down the device or initiate Standby or Hibernation.
Do not insert, remove, connect, or disconnect any device, cable, or cord.
To download a BIOS update:
1. Access the page on the HP Web site that provides software for your device:
Select Start > Help and Support > Maintain, and then select the software and drivers update.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen to identify your device and access the BIOS update you want
to download.
3. At the download area, follow these steps:
a. Identify the BIOS update that is later than the BIOS version currently installed on your device.
Make a note of the date, name, or other identifier. You may need this information to locate
the update later, after it has been downloaded to your hard drive.
b. Follow the instructions on the screen to download your selection to the hard drive.
Make a note of the path to the location on your hard drive where the BIOS update will be
downloaded. You will need to access this path when you are ready to install the update.
NOTE: If you connect your device to a network, consult the network administrator before installing
any software updates, especially system BIOS updates.
BIOS installation procedures vary. Follow any instructions that are displayed on the screen after the
download is complete. If no instructions are displayed, follow these steps:
1. Open Windows Explorer by selecting Start > Computer.
2. Double-click your hard drive designation. The hard drive designation is typically Local Disk (C:).
3. Using the hard drive path you recorded earlier, open the folder on your hard drive that contains the
update.
4. Double-click the file that has an .exe extension (for example, filename.exe).
The BIOS installation begins.
5. Complete the installation by following the instructions on the screen.
NOTE: After a message on the screen reports a successful installation, you can delete the downloaded
file from your hard drive.
