Step 3: Update your OmniBook’s system BIOS

For an OmniBook 900 or 4150 with a BIOS version earlier than 2.20, or
for an OmniBook with a Smart Card BIOS available on the OmniBook
website, www.hp.com/omnibook, update the BIOS to support BIOS
security features. To determine your BIOS version, reboot the computer
and press F2 when you see the HP logo—the first screen of BIOS Setup
shows the BIOS version.

Skip these steps if your BIOS is a Smart Card BIOS or if none is available
for your model.

Follow these steps to update your BIOS:

1. Start Windows Explorer.

2. Insert the Smart Card Security System CD and run setup.exe.

3. In the Smart Card Setup window, click the “Smart Card BIOS Update”

option.

Caution

Your OmniBook must be on ac power during BIOS update because a
power loss will completely disable your OmniBook computer.

4. Follow the displayed instructions to create a BIOS update floppy and

update the BIOS.
