Failsafe Boot Block ROM
The computer comes with a reprogrammable flash system ROM (read only memory). To
upgrade the ROM, download the latest ROM BIOS image from the HP Web site (www.hp.com)
and follow the online GUI/instructions.
Your system ROM includes a Failsafe Boot Block that is protected during the flash process and
allows the computer to be restarted in the unlikely event of an unsuccessful ROM flash.
If the system detects an invalid system ROM during the boot sequence, the Failsafe Boot Block
attempts to locate a valid BIOS image on removable media. To recover from the Boot Block
recovery mode complete the following steps:
Boot Block Recovery
1. Remove any bootable media from the computer and turn off power.
2. Insert a flash drive or CD containing the ROM BIOS.
3. Turn on power to the system.
4. The system will automatically flash the ROM. After a successful flash, the system will either
automatically restart or prompt the user to unplug the unit, wait 5 seconds, reattach the power
cord, and then press the power button.
