There are two BIOS versions for the DV6850. BIOS version 1.0 supports USB-FDD boot mode only by
default. BIOS version 1.01 supports both USB-HDD and USB-FDD modes by default. Since the
certificate upgrade bootable USB key is designed for USB-HDD mode (BIOS v1.01), the BIOS settings
must be changed to work with BIOS v1.0 (USB-FDD) systems.
Confirm the DV6850 BIOS version:
1. While the system is powered off, insert the bootable USB certificate update drive and
connect a USB keyboard to DV6850 DRE
If the BIOS string is ‘MX945GSE3-CS2 #71401 BIOS v1.0’, then continue to step 3, otherwise
go to the ‘Update Using the Certificate Update Tool (CD or USB)’ section of this document
3. Press the DEL key to enter the BIOS CMOS
4. Use the arrow keys to choose ‘Integrated Peripherals’ then press ENTER
5. Verify that ‘OnChip IDE Device’ is selected and then press ENTER
6. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the ‘On-Chip Serial ATA’ field, use either the ‘+’ or ‘-‘ key
to change the setting to ‘Disabled’
9. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the ‘USB Mass Storage Device Boot Setting’ section
Note:
The name of the USB drive will vary. In the example below, ‘SanDisk Cruzer Colors+ 8.0’

BIOS / CMOS settings to their default values, otherwise the bootable DV6850 USB drive
ghost software will not work properly

window that will indicate success or failure of the upgrade process
Note:
• For 6800: If the certificate update fails, power off the imager, remove the DRE Compact
Flash (CF) card (item #5 identified below), power on the imager and retry the certificate
update
• For 6800: If the certificate update fails after removing the CF card, replace the CF card and
install software version 2.11.b1 (MOD 16) that includes the new certificate
o Instructions to install v2.11.b1 are available on the Service Portal
