• Time to update the BIOS and firmware of remote management?

  I'll put up a 'new' ThinkServer RD630 (2954A6U). It was purchased for a project that never happened, and we are now dry and reuse to replace an old Office Server. The current firmware versions are:

  • BIOS: 2.05
  • ME: 2.1.5.73
  • BMC 1.7
  • IPMI 2.0

  Page 61 of the User Guide ThinkServer says, "update the BIOS on your server only if the new BIOS version specifically solves a problem you have. We don't recommend updates to the BIOS for servers that do not need. [...]"

  As far as I know, we have no problems. The system starts fine and runs Windows Server 2012 well enough.

  HERE'S MY QUESTION:

  Should I update the BIOS and firmware IMM (remote management) to the current version? Are there hidden problems, security issues or other concerns that it is worth?

  Other indicators of initial configuration that you can share with a new admin would be much appreciated, too! Thank you.

  With the help of the Lenovo Support, I was able to fix my problem where I couldn't get to the menu of the BIOS of the 630 RD (in F1) and all I saw was a cursor on the screen. I describe the procedure in detail here:

  Thank you to all those who commented above and especially to those who have sent me suggestions via PMs.

• UPDATE THE BIOS AND HARD DRIVE

  Hi, I'm going to do a clean install of win. 7 home Premium and I would like to upgrade the Bios and installing a hard drive SSD 120 GB and 2 GB of ram.

  Desktop PC

  5226Model #: CQ5226UK
  Product #: VS273AA-ABU
  Serial No.:[personal information deleted]
  Software Build #: 94WEv6PrA3
  Service ID #: 111-709
  PCBRAND: Presario

  3200AAJS-60M0A0 320 GB WD HARD DRIVE

  Intel pentium dual core 2.6

  PC built Sept 2009

  I looked at the Hp site but could not find an update for my bios.  Mobo is Foxconn Eton 1.0 and the Bios is FRIEND 5.05 25.09.2009

  A scan utility (Bios Agent) indicates that there is an update, but they require payment for flashing the bios.  In case I have some concerns, and many would prefer to download Hp or Foxconn.  I looked on the sites Web from Foxconn and FRIEND, but they require a lot & a lot of information that I don't have and don't know where to find them. I was hoping someone might have the same PC to give me information.

  Also to install the disk SSD drive I brobably would need an adapter to allow the reader to 2.5 inches to fit into the drive 3.5 "bracket. Apart from this, the connectors on the SSD drives all seem to be the same.  is this correct please or will it take a SSD and a specific to my PC case and my existing hard drive adapter.

  Thank you

  Hi thanks for your help, advice and information: my PC was purchased in January 2009 is a little more than 4 years.  The upgrade would cost 130 pounds. I could not buy a decent PC with 4 GB ram and an SSD for under £500.   I do not download music or movies, or make more than a small base video editing so I'm sure that with these improvements, there will be more than enough for me.

  One thing doesn't bother me.  It seems that when buying a PC Bios updates are available for the first 2/3 years, but not thereafter.  It would not have occurred to me to look for an update of the bios, during this period just simply because I thought that they were issued only when necessary to take into account improvements and new technologies so thanks for that. you live & learn.

  I'm trying to teach me the 'nuts & bolts' repair and fix PC problems and I guess that's the main use for my PC.  Experiment with a new £500 Pc would scare me to death.

  I'm on Linux Ubuntu 13.1 without any problems on my PC Dell 9 years and XP Pro on my HP Pavilion 13, so maybe I can do my Compaq last a little longer.

  Once again thank you very much.  its part of the process of learning.  see you soon

  Hello alissah6,

  Numbers from Apple is what I would recommend as far as doing calculations with a simple formula. You can learn more about this here.

  The application costs $14.99, however it is packed and has more than 30 models - not to mention, you can also create your own if necessary.

  I would check it out certainly if I'm looking for a few terms related to pay calculation in the App Store.

• Satellite 1000-Z2: I need a driver for the display and the LAN

  Hello

  I reformatted my laptop S1000-Z2, and I have a real problem trying to find all the information about this model!

  Basically, I need a driver for the display and the LAN?

  Best regards

  Austin.

  What operating system do you use?
  If you use XP, you will not find the network on the site recommended driver driver!
  I can't give you advice where to find such driver because I don t know what the LAN card is installed in your oldie.

  But why you n t check yourself? Try to know what the LAN card you use and googel a bit for compatible applications ;)

• Acer gateway ne570 won't boot upward and I tried the bios and it always detects the hard drive

  I have an acer gateway ne570 and it does not start and I tried the bios and it always detects the hard drive but first boot priority is boot windows which is the only thing on the menu Manager startup options when you press on enter where the box "no boot device, press a key" comes after starting the laptop and when the gateway logo appears. I've had for over a year and the hard drive still works and my laptop didn't come with a recovery or recovery usb drive. And I also used the alt + f10 button that linked me right back to square "no boot device, press a key. Anyway, what should I do?

  you need a PC to use the tool of creation of the windows window.

  to boot from the CD or USB, press F12 on startup and choose the correct boot device.

• How to access the BIOS and disable hype-threading on xp

  How to access the BIOS and disable hype-threading on xp

  THX

  During the initial boot, you should see a brief message posted to press a specific key (usually the delete key) to access the BIOS. If there is an option to disable Hyper-Threading, you will need to find it.  You can also see if there is a guide for your motherboard and the BIOS options.

  Any reason, you need to disable?

• Spectrum of HP x 360: password for the BIOS default administrator

  I'm doing a BIOS update.

  HP support assistant tell me there's an update of the BIOS available. Many attempts to install it all failed. The installation continues for hours and never complete.

  I thought that I would like to download the file to update the BIOS on the support site and install it manually. I typed in the serial number of my computer, so the site could identify relevant updates, but this failed with a 'unable to detect"error message.

  As a result, I was introduced to three different updates to the BIOS and no way to decide which did not suit my system (two of them have the same date, so goes the latest isn't the problem).

  I thought I would go into the BIOS of the computer to see what version is currently there, hoping that would tell me what the update is appropriate. Then asked me a password. I don't know what is the password.

  I looked at the manual in the hope of finding a default password. The manual says:

  "If the BIOS is protected by an administrator password, enter the password"

  Very useful. Enter the password. I would have never thought it. But what is the password or where I can find it?

  Note that I never put a password, so there is no chance that it is something other than the default.

  Hello

  The last revision of the Bios listed for your laptop is F.32 Rev.A (March 7, 2016) on the following link.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp74501-75000/sp74985.exe

  About the bios password, it's a bit confusing - your laptop is listed as a model of consumption, while HP SpareKey is a facility for the books of class business, so maybe I need to think it more

  Kind regards

• How can I check if I have a virus in the BIOS and what is the difference between formatting and full format in Windows 7?

  Hello

  Recently I found a rootkit on my computer, especially rootkit.tdss.tdl4. Of after I read that I got one of the best!

  I have two questions:
  Firstly - how can I check if my BIOS was hit without blinking? I read that this Trojan horse could have started exactly from the BIOS, and very likely to stand again after doing a clean install. I have a laptop HP seems like flashing procedures require to disconnect the disk hard - is this true for laptops?

  Second, is how I format to ensure that clean the MBR? I have Vista and want to upgrade to Windows 7. I have Windows 7 upgrade ultimate disc that can do a custom install which should format entirely. Tell me if I think too old school here but should be low (or zero) format is required? From what I've read, the function of full format of Windows 7 should be as powerful as the low level. is that correct? I don't mind the overtime work as long as I don't have any problems (at least with this Trojan) later. I also fear that upgrading Windows 7 disk might not have all the features of formatting as a full version, which is a nonsense?

  Thank you very much for your help!

• HP DV6 of the computer stopped working after the update of the Bios and Memoryupgrade

  HP DV6 - 3161EO

  XE068EA #UUW

  Hi, I bought a brand new HP with Intel I5 processor computer and GUI double, its been working well so far and I thought that I should upgrade the Bios and memory as well.

  So I did, I bought memory 10600 and crusial 12600 and corsair, a single and two put in correspondence of the sticks, just to be in business, and I've updated the bios. of F.13 to F.29

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063&LC=SV&CC=se&DLC=SV&sw_lang=&product=4344...

  The computer worked perfectly for about 4-5 hours, then there are allmost quite dead.

  Ive tried to pass on different memorycabsm like the original samsungs that came with the computer.

  Ive tried the famous "hard reset".

  Nothing, the computer starts "boots" but don't approach the entered message turnes off.

  Presedure same each time.

  Any memory I put in, the same result.

  Ive used different powerbricks, turned of the computer resets hard, between 10s 2 min, picked up the bios battery, has offered free energy.

  Let the rest of the computer for half a day, put it all together exept cmos battery = exactly the same as before.

  "take out all the memories and the computer works and get that caps lock flashing light.

  So my question is this

  Why you encourage people to update, when it's clearly the fault at hand.

  Sell your computers with 8 GB of ram from the beginning so the people do not have upgraded later because your hardware is not able to manage different memorycaps of accepted and authorized as crusial or corsair providers.

  Ive built perhaps 50-60 computers and had about 10 laptops and NEVER had a fault like this.

  My laptop $1200 is useless, and I actually held you at HP responsible of it.

  The computer is of course out of warranty, so its my own falult, as usual.

  «A simple question, is there a way to 'force' a new bios on the Board, without memory of the computer, because it is the only time where it works and works welll.»

  Thnx, 'a sick owner HP.

  For later use, it's really kff upward, but I got it working again.

  1 changed the original memorycabs for much faster, 1600 mhz, I know that this mobo doesn't support, but he did start the computer, so I could run the Windows + arrows Bios recover.

  Installed the HP bios tools F10 + GIS and it worked.

  so I guess I have to myself a thank you and a boost of the kudosbutton, hahah

  Well, when your computer went down, don't give up and try everything you can, this prob took me about 3-4 days to eradicate, but now its working again.

  See you soon

• Y at - it a default password for the bios on a Compaq tc4400? Need help!

  There must be a way to remove a unknown password!  I disassembled the laptop and removed the battery cmos for 3 hours and it didn't work.  There must be an easier way.  There should be a default password for the bios of HP or Compaq?

  Welcome to Alzur.

  How to cut the power on password or bios password is easy.

  Remove the battery and power supply.

  Remove the memory cover. "On the merits".

  Remove the memory stick. "If there is."

  You should see a label and a piece of plastic tape.

  Peel off the tape and you will see CMOS_CLR1.

  Use small flat head screwdriver and make contact with the 2 copper looking contacts.

  Replace the tape in plastic, memory, memory and battery.

  Power and missing BIOS passwords.

  Just tested it and it worked very well.

  Tell us what you find.
