Flashing the Latest Version of the System BIOS
Flashing the Latest Version of the System BIOS
The latest BIOS can be obtained from HP World Wide Web site (http://
www.hp.com/go/vectrasupport). The file can be downloaded to the system
administrator’s PC and then to the target PC. The BIOS files can be copied to
a system diskette, and the BIOS can be flashed by running the PHLASH.EXE
program once the target PC has re-booted from its flexible disk drive. Full
details of the procedure are given in the associated README.TXT file.
If the flashing process goes wrong, close the “clear password” and “clear
CMOS” switches (SW-7 and SW-8) on the system board, reconnect the PC
and turn it on. This forces the PC to re-boot from the flexible disk drive.
Once the recovery program has completed, the BIOS can be flashed by run-
ning the PHLASH.EXE program. Once completed, return the system board
switches to their original positions.

Answers and Explanations
Answers and Explanations
1How can you recover from the corruption of your operating system?
b Connect across to the remote server, and use the dynamic host
configuration protocol (DHCP) to restore the user’s profile of the
operating system.
c Run the Windows 95 Setup program from the masters directory.
Setting the two system board switches together is for recovery from a
BIOS upgrade failure, not for recovery from a corrupted operating
system.
2What do you do to upgrade the system BIOS?
a Download the BIOS to a bootable flexible diskette, and flash it
directly on the PC.
c Download the BIOS to another PC, and execute the BIOS flasher so
that it flashes the BIOS across the local area network to the target PC.
Response (c) makes use of the OpenView, TopTools utility.
3How can you recover from the corruption of your System BIOS?
a Set SW-7 and SW-8 together to the closed position.
If the BIOS is corrupted, the PC will be unusable. These two switches
force the PC to boot from the flexible disk drive (from whence the BIOS
can be re-flashed).
4How do you install a CD-ROM drive in a model without CD-ROM drive?
c The CD-ROM drive can be connected to the secondary IDE cable that
is supplied with the PC.
