Downloading a BIOS update
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the Slate or an unsuccessful installation, download and
install a BIOS update only when the Slate is connected to reliable external power using the AC
adapter. Do not download or install a BIOS update while the Slate is running on battery power,
docked in an optional HP Slate Dock, or connected to an optional power source. During the download
and installation, follow these instructions:
Do not disconnect power from the Slate by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet.
Do not shut down the Slate or initiate Sleep or Hibernation.
Do not insert, remove, connect, or disconnect any device, cable, or cord.
1. Tap Start, tap Help and Support, and then tap Maintain.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to identify your Slate and access the BIOS update you want to
download.
3. At the download area, follow these steps:
a. Identify the BIOS update that is later than the BIOS version currently installed on your
Slate. Make a note of the date, name, or other identifier. You may need this information to
locate the update later, after it has been downloaded to your drive.
b. Follow the on-screen instructions to download your selection to the drive.
Make a note of the path to the location on your drive where the BIOS update is
downloaded. You will need to access this path when you are ready to install the update.
NOTE: If you connect your Slate to a network, consult the network administrator before
installing any software updates, especially system BIOS updates.
BIOS installation procedures vary. Follow any instructions that are displayed on the screen after the
download is complete. If no instructions are displayed, follow these steps:
1. Open Windows Explorer by tapping Start, and then tapping Computer.
2. Double-tap your drive designation. The drive designation is typically Local Disk (C:).
3. Using the drive path you recorded earlier, open the folder on your drive that contains the update.
4. Double-tap the file that has an .exe extension (for example, filename.exe).
The BIOS installation begins.
5. Complete the installation by following the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: After a message on the screen reports a successful installation, you can delete the
downloaded file from your drive.
