Software Updates

For optimal tablet PC performance and to make sure your 
tablet PC remains compatible with changing technologies, HP 
recommends that you install the latest versions of HP software as 
they become available.

To update HP software:

1. Prepare for any update by identifying your tablet PC type, 

series or family, and model; refer to 

“Accessing Tablet PC 

Information”

 later in this chapter. Prepare for a system ROM 

update by identifying (through the Computer Setup utility) 
the ROM version currently installed on the tablet PC.

2. Access the updates through your local HP Web site or the 

Support Software 

CD (purchased separately).

3. Download and install the updates.

✎

The tablet PC system ROM stores the BIOS. The BIOS 
determines how the tablet PC hardware interacts with the 
operating system and external devices and also supports such 
tablet PC services as time and date. 

✎

If your tablet PC connects to a network, HP recommends that 
you consult with your network administrator before installing 
any software updates, especially system ROM updates.
