Troubleshooting BIOS Problems
The BIOS is a set of program routines that gives the PC Workstation its
fundamental operational characteristics. Many problems with your PC
Workstation can be solved by updating (flashing) the BIOS (Basic
Input Output System).
NOTE It is recommended that before you make any modifications to the BIOS you take note
of the system setup.
Updating the BIOS
The latest system BIOS (standard flash operation) for your PC
Workstation can be downloaded from HP’s Support Web site at:
www.hp.com/go/kayaksupport . Instructions on updating the BIOS
are supplied with the downloaded BIOS files and a BIOS flash utility.
Restoring BIOS Default Settings
Suspected hardware errors may be caused by BIOS and configuration
issues. If the BIOS settings are suspected to be wrong, do the following
steps to restore the BIOS to its default setting:
1 Press while the initial “Kayak” logo is displayed immediately
after restarting the PC Workstation to access the Setup program.
2 Press to load the default settings from the Setup program.
3 Set the “Reset Configuration Data” to Yes in the Main menu.
It is recommended that before you make any modifications to the
BIOS you take note of the system setup.
