TITLE: HP bc2000/bc2500 Blade PC System BIOS (786E5 BIOS)

VERSION: 2.09 Rev. A
DESCRIPTION:
This package contains utilities that can be used to restore or update the 
system BIOS (786E5 BIOS) for the HP bc2000 and HP bc2500 Blade PCs. 

IMPORTANT: If updating the system BIOS image to V2.09, the Blade Management 
Controller (BMC) image must also be updated to V24. Also, to upgrade from BIOS 
versions prior to v2.09 using HPQFlash or SSM, a F10 Setup Password must be 
enabled on the target blade PC systems. For additional information, see the 
readme.txt file in the HPQFlash folder. 

NOTE: If both the System BIOS and the BMC image are being updated, the System 
BIOS image must be updated first (before updating the BMC image).
