Configuring your System BIOS
HP Z800 BIOS Settings
After wiring the workstation and before installing Linux, turn the workstation on and check the BIOS version
and BIOS settings.
WARNING If BIOS settings are not set up correctly before installing Linux, you will need to reinstall the OS.
The certified BIOS version for your workstation is 1.06.
Make sure 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.
The following table lists the Autodesk certified BIOS settings. Items not listed are set to their default factory
settings. See Restoring BIOS to Default Factory Settings on page 22 for instructions on restoring your BIOS
settings to factory defaults.
