4 BIOS Update Mechanisms Options "Update BIOS" / "Update BIOS Clearing its Settings" 5 The specific catalog lists the correct packages for this PC platform which are available for download. It also lists the conditions under which each package is applicable to the platform. NOTE In e-DiagTools, only BIOS packages are available. 6 The web update client retrieves the specific catalog for its client PC and then parses it to determine if an update BIOS package is available. If an updated package is present, it is downloaded and the contents of the BIOS package are installed. BIOS Packages, Signed ZIP Format The BIOS packages for e-DiagTools are in the form of signed ZIP files. When the web update client downloads the updated BIOS package, it unzips the package and verifies the signature. If the signature is not authenticated, the BIOS of the client PC is not updated. If the signature is authenticated, then the BIOS is flashed. The BIOS configuration information is reset if this BIOS option was selected from the boot menu. The system must be restarted once the BIOS update is complete; e-DiagTools will prompt you for a keypress to initiate the system reboot. Master Catalogue Web Location The Master Catalogue web site is used by e-DiagTools when updating the BIOS. As described above, this address provides the entry-point for e-DiagTools' web update client versions (in case the web update client needs to update itself) and also points the web update client to the catalog of update packages specifically available for its client PC model. The platform-specific catalog is used to determine if an updated BIOS package is available for this client PC. The address of the Master Catalogue web site is stored in the root directory of the Utility Partition. Local Web/FTP Server Your network configuration may include a firewall which prevents the reception of BIOS updates from the HP server. In this case you may want to install a local Web/FTP server inside the firewall. The easiest method of creating a local server is to download the file structure of the HP server commencing with the Master Catalog location (master.ini) and the entire directory sub-tree structure beneath 19
