Upgrading AlphaBIOS
As new versions of Windows NT are released, it might be necessary to upgrade
AlphaBIOS to the latest version. Additionally, as improvements are made to
AlphaBIOS, it might be desirable to upgrade to take advantage of new AlphaBIOS
features.
Use this procedure to upgrade from an earlier version of AlphaBIOS:
1.
Insert the diskette or CD-ROM containing the AlphaBIOS upgrade.
2.
If you are not already running AlphaBIOS Setup, start it by restarting your
system and pressing F2 when the Boot screen is displayed.
3.
In the main AlphaBIOS Setup screen, select Upgrade AlphaBIOS and press
Enter.
The system is reset and the Loadable Firmware Update (LFU) utility is started. See
Section A5.5 for LFU commands.
4.
When the upgrade is complete, issue the LFU exit command. The system is
reset and you are returned to AlphaBIOS.
If you press the Reset button instead of issuing the LFU exit command, the system is
reset and you are returned to LFU.
