3 Troubleshooting and Repair Updating the System ROM CAUTION Updating the System ROM The System ROM is updated by running the PHLASH utility. The PHLASH utility is supplied with BIOS upgrades for the HP Vectra VE 5/xx series 2 PC. BIOS upgrades can be ordered from HP or downloaded from one of HP's online services. (For more information on HP's online services, refer to the Hewlett-Packard Support and Information Services chapter in the PC User's Guide.) Please specify the model number of the HP Vectra VE 5/xx series 2 PC when ordering the PHLASH utility and the latest system BIOS. The PHLASH utility supplied for the HP Vectra VE 5/xx series 2 PC cannot be used with any other HP Vectra. Do not use a PHLASH utility supplied for a different HP Vectra model. To update the system BIOS: 1 Ensure that the Secure Switch (system board switch 8) is OPEN to enable BIOS flashing. 2 If the PC has an administrator password, ensure you boot the PC with this password to enable BIOS flashing. 3 Insert the PHLASH utility diskette in drive A. 4 Switch the computer OFF and then ON. 5 Follow the instructions until the procedure finishes. Typically, you will be required to type the command "PHLASH Gxxxxx.FUL" where Gxxxxx is the name of the update BIOS code file. Do NOT switch off the computer until the system BIOS update procedure has completed (successfully or not) since irrecoverable damage to the ROM may occur. 6 Remove the PHLASH utility diskette. 7 Switch the computer OFF and then ON to initialize the system ROM. 37
