Upgrading the BIOS

After the first boot, it is a good practice to verify your system is operating with the latest BIOS.
To check the current BIOS on the system:
During power up, wait for the prompt F10=setup to appear on the lower right corner of the screen. After
the prompt appears, press the F10 key to enter F10 setup. The F10 Setup Utility displays and lists the
BIOS version under File > System Information. Note this number so that you can compare it with what
is on the HP website.
To locate the latest BIOS available, go to http://www.hp.com/go/workstationsupport. Select Download
Drivers and Software from the left-hand menu and follow the instructions to locate the latest BIOS
available for your workstation.
If the BIOS on the Web site is the same as the version on your system, no further action is required.
If the BIOS on the Web site is a later version, download the appropriate version for your workstation.
Follow the instructions in the release notes to complete the installation.

Upgrading Device Drivers

To install hardware devices such as a printer, display adapter, or network adapter, after the operating
system is installed, the operating system needs access to the appropriate software drivers for the
devices. Device drivers are usually provided on a CD supplied with the peripheral device.
To locate the most current drivers, go to http://www.hp.com/go/workstationsupport. Select Download
Drivers and Software from the left-hand menu and follow the instructions to locate the latest drivers
available for your workstation.
If no driver is found, visit the website of the manufacturer of the peripheral device.
