Unfortunately there is no location to download the original HP BIOS. HP newer to my knowledge never even updated the BIOS although in EX47x's there were 2 known BIOS in existance which I will refer to as R2 and R3 but I am uncertain what difference exists between them only that the servers came with one or the other. The issue with the BIOS is that it contains information specifically to each server in that the BIOS contains the Servers S/N and the COA key which helps not only identify the server but also to automatically activate WHS with Microsoft. So obtaining the BIOS from another person is your only option but in that BIOS it would contain the other persons server information and I am not certain how well that will play out but certainly it would not present a waranty issue since the EX47x has not been made in years.
