15) If applicable, select the Save Flash to Image File menu option. This option reads BIOS out
of flash memory and stores it on a disk file. A valid image file can be used with other upgrade commands
that need an image file. The default name for the image file is DEFAULT.BIN. You can type in a
different file name if you do not want to use the default name.
16) Select the
Quit
menu option to exit the Flash Upgrade utility.
17) Run the System Configuration Utility (SCU) to make sure the ROM Based Setup option is enabled.
Setup
Setup allows to select and permanently store information about the computer's installed hardware and software
in the battery-backed memory of the CMOS RAM. This information takes effect each time the computer boots
and can be changed each time you run Setup.
Accessing Setup
Use one of the following methods to access Setup:
♦
ROM Based Setup—Boot the computer and allow the POST to complete, then press [F1] to display the
initial Setup screen.
♦
SETUP.COM—Insert the Utilities diskette in drive A. At the MS-DOS prompt, type a:setup. The initial
Setup screen appears.
NOTE Values specified in Setup are overwritten when the System Configuration Utility (SCU)
is run, therefore do not use Setup to modify most configuration settings
. Refer to the
next section, "When to Use Setup"
, for specific situations where Setup should be used
to make changes to the computer's configuration.
When to Use Setup
Since Setup values are overwritten by the SCU, it is recommended that Setup is used only if you:
♦
Need to enable a diskette drive.
♦
Do not have access to a diskette drive.
♦
Have only Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) expansion boards and will not be using the SCU.
♦
Need to disable or enable the ROM Based Setup option.
NOTE If Setup is used to make changes to the computer configuration, it is recommended to
use the ROM Based Setup. Use SETUP.COM (on the Utilities diskette) only when
enabling of the ROM Based Setup option is desired.
