BIOS Version
Make sure you down-

puter model you are
working on.
You should only
download BIOS ver-
sions that are
V1.0X.XX or higher
as
appropriate for your
computer model.
Note that BIOS versions
are not backward com-
patible and therefore
you may not down-
grade your BIOS to an
older version
after up-
grading to a later ver-
sion (e.g if you upgrade
a BIOS to ver 1.0X.05,
you
MAY NOT
then go
back and flash the BIOS
to ver 1.0X.04).
