Software Updates and Restorations Updating Software from the Internet Most software at the Compaq Web site is packaged in a compressed file called a SoftPaq™. Some ROM updates may be packaged in a compressed file called a ROMPaq™. Other ROM updates may be provided as a "CPQFlash" SoftPaq. Most download packages contain a file named "Readme.txt." A Readme.txt file contains detailed descriptions, installation, and troubleshooting information about the download. The Readme.txt files included with RomPaqs are English only. The following sections provide instructions for downloading and installing: ■ A system ROM update. ■ A KBC ROM update. ■ A SoftPaq containing an update other than a KBC ROM update. Downloading and Installing a System ROM Update Ä CAUTION: To prevent an unsuccessful installation, download and install the system ROM only while the notebook is connected to reliable external power using the AC Adapter. (Do not download or install a system ROM while the notebook is running on battery power, docked in an optional port replicator, or connected to an optional power source.) During the download and installation: ■ Do not unplug the notebook from the electrical outlet. ■ Do not shut down the notebook. ■ Do not remove or insert a drive. Software Guide 6-5
