7 Updating the workstation

HP is constantly working on improving your total workstation experience. To ensure that the workstation

leverages the latest enhancements, HP recommends that you install the latest BIOS, driver, and software

updates on a regular basis.

Updating the workstation after first boot

After successfully booting the workstation for the first time, you should follow these guidelines to ensure

that the workstation is up-to-date:

●

Ensure that you have the latest system BIOS loaded. See

Upgrading the BIOS on page 43.

●

Ensure that you have the latest drivers for your system. See

Upgrading device drivers

on page 44.

●

Become familiar with your available HP resources.

Upgrading the BIOS

For optimum performance, determine the BIOS revision on the workstation, and upgrade it if necessary.

Determining the current BIOS version

To determine the current BIOS version:

1. Press Esc during power-up.

2. Press F10 to enter the F10 Setup utility.

3. Select File > System Information. Note the workstation BIOS version and compare it with the

BIOS versions that appear on the HP website.
