Flashing the Latest Version of the System BIOS

Flashing the Latest Version of the System BIOS

The latest BIOS can be obtained from HP World Wide Web site (http://

www.hp.com/go/vectrasupport). The file can be downloaded to the system

administrator’s PC and then to the target PC. The BIOS files can be copied to

a system diskette, and the BIOS can be flashed by running the PHLASH.EXE

program once the target PC has re-booted from its flexible disk drive. Full

details of the procedure are given in the associated README.TXT file.

If the flashing process goes wrong, close the “clear password” and “clear

CMOS” switches (SW-7 and SW-8) on the system board, reconnect the PC

and turn it on. This forces the PC to re-boot from the flexible disk drive.

Once the recovery program has completed, the BIOS can be flashed by run-

ning the PHLASH.EXE program. Once completed, return the system board

switches to their original positions.

Answers and Explanations

Answers and Explanations

1How can you recover from the corruption of your operating system?

b Connect across to the remote server, and use the dynamic host

configuration protocol (DHCP) to restore the user’s profile of the

operating system.

c Run the Windows 95 Setup program from the masters directory.

Setting the two system board switches together is for recovery from a

BIOS upgrade failure, not for recovery from a corrupted operating

system.

2What do you do to upgrade the system BIOS?

a Download the BIOS to a bootable flexible diskette, and flash it

directly on the PC.

c Download the BIOS to another PC, and execute the BIOS flasher so

that it flashes the BIOS across the local area network to the target PC.

Response (c) makes use of the OpenView, TopTools utility.

3How can you recover from the corruption of your System BIOS?

a Set SW-7 and SW-8 together to the closed position.

If the BIOS is corrupted, the PC will be unusable. These two switches

force the PC to boot from the flexible disk drive (from whence the BIOS

can be re-flashed).

4How do you install a CD-ROM drive in a model without CD-ROM drive?

c The CD-ROM drive can be connected to the secondary IDE cable that

is supplied with the PC.
