Preparing to Update Software
For optimal notebook performance and to make sure your
notebook remains compatible with changing technologies,
Compaq recommends that you install the latest versions of
Compaq software as they become available.
To update Compaq software:
1. Prepare for any update by identifying your notebook type,
series or family, and model. Prepare for a system ROM
update by identifying the ROM versions currently installed
on the notebook.
2. Access the updates on your local Compaq Web site or the
Compaq Support Software
CD.
3. Download and install the updates.
✎
The notebook system ROM (Read Only Memory) stores the
BIOS (Basic Input Output System). The BIOS determines how
the notebook hardware interacts with the operating system and
external devices and also supports such notebook services as time
and date.

If your notebook connects to a network, Compaq recommends
that you consult with your Network Administrator before
installing any software updates, especially system ROM updates.
