HP 6630 BIOS

Rupert French — Sat, 26 Aug 2000 06:00:56 GMT

I do not know how to access the BIOS on the HP 6630. Pressing the Delete key on
startup has no effect. Specifically, I need to know how to disable the display chipset on the motherboard. I have a Voodoo 3000 PCI card and it's having a few problems.

Thanks

Rupert,

I have the HP 6470Z. To start the BIOS Setup program, you need to press F1 when the Blue Logo screen appears.

Hope that helps.

The F1 function key will access the bios routines. BTW, there is a bios update that HP has issued for this machine. For more information see http://support.hp.com:80/cds/showpage/cat_id/21502646/id/bph05818.html#P17_929

Also, HP has a separate set of forums for their pc, networking, and printer lines. the site for the 6630 can be found under http://support.hp.com:80/cds/showpage/id/21190367.htm There is a wealth of information is pretty extensive.
