Firmware updates and recovery
The all-in-one has a flash-memory-based formatter that enables the firmware code to be updated in the
event that new firmware is released for the all-in-one. Using flash memory also provides a way to recover
the firmware in the event of code corruption or failure.
Firmware update by using a flash executable file
The configuration page lists the firmware version of the all-in-one. On the flash-memory-based all-in-
one, you can update the firmware code by downloading the latest flash executable file for the all-in-one
and running the program according to the readme instructions that come with it (go to
www.hp.com
).
Turn the all-in-one off and then on before running the executable file. If the firmware becomes corrupted
or fails (usually because of an interruption when attempting to update the firmware), the all-in-one no
longer functions. In this case, a firmware-recovery DIMM is available from HP.
Firmware-recovery DIMM
A firmware-recovery DIMM (RDIMM) can be obtained from HP in the rare event that the firmware in the
flash memory becomes corrupted. When the DIMM is installed in the DIMM slot on the formatter and
the all-in-one is turned on, the DIMM loads the latest firmware code into the product.
To use the RDIMM
1.
Order a RDIMM from HP. Retain the return mailer.
2.
Turn off the all-in-one.
3.
Install the RDIMM in the DIMM slot. See
Removing and replacing a DIMM
on page
30
.
4.
Turn on the all-in-one. The RDIMM takes a few minutes to automatically restore both blocks of
firmware code. Wait until the message
Complete
appears on the control-panel display.
