The BIOS of your workstation is correctly configured prior to shipping, so you normally do not need to
perform the procedures in this section.
This section contains information on the certified BIOS settings for the HP Z800 workstation, as well as
instructions on updating your BIOS and restoring it to the default factory settings. For information on
updating your BIOS version, or reverting the BIOS to factory defaults, consult the Hardware Setup Guide.
WARNING If BIOS settings are not set up correctly before installing Linux, you will need to reinstall the OS.
After wiring the workstation and before installing Linux, turn the workstation on and check the BIOS version
and BIOS settings.
The certified BIOS version for your workstation is 3.07.
Ensure the BIOS version number that appears on screen while booting the workstation matches the certified
version. If the versions do not match, update the BIOS to the certified version, after configuring BIOS settings.
BIOS update instructions are at the end of this chapter.
To adjust system BIOS settings, press F10 while booting the workstation.
