conga-IA4 is identified as IA40R1xx where:
•
R is the identifier for a BIOS ROM file

Updating the BIOS
OEMs often use BIOS updates to correct platform issues discovered after the board has been shipped or when new features are added to
the BIOS. The conga-IA4 uses a congatec/AMI AptioEFI firmware, which is stored in an onboard flash ROM chip and can be updated using
the congatec System Utility. The utility has five versions—UEFI shell, DOS based command line, Win32 command line, Win32 GUI, and Linux
version.
For more information about “Updating the BIOS” refer to the user’s guide for the congatec System Utility “CGUTLm1x.pdf” on the congatec
website at www.congatec.com.
