2 Set the “Operating System” field in the Setup program to
Others .
3 Run the updbios.bat command file (provided by HP), to execute the
video BIOS flash program, progbios.exe , and the associated *.bin file.
4 Set SW-1, on the Matrox card, to OFF (BIOS protected).
5 Set the “Operating System” field in the Setup program back to an appro-
priate setting.
Video cards without ROM (such as old CGA and monochrome) are not
supported by the BIOS. Memory holes above 1 MB are not supported. DDC
display detection is not a BIOS feature, but is handled by the video drivers.
