Server Utilities
2-3
PHLASH.EXE
All servers have BIOS software in a read-only, non-volatile memory (ROM)
chip. This BIOS initializes hardware and boots the operating system when
the server is turned on. The BIOS also provides access to other services
such as keyboard and disk drives.
You can upgrade your server's BIOS to future releases by executing the
flash utility located in the BIOS update kit.
Only use the flash utility to upgrade your server’s BIOS if you are
instructed to do so by an authorized Digital support representative. The
flash utility and BIOS updates are available on the Digital Bulletin Board
(BBS).
Using EPP3SMC.EXE
EPP3SMC.EXE is a device driver that can be accessed from the
ServerWORKS Quick Launch CD-ROM disk. This device driver can be
used to configure your parallel port as an enhanced parallel port (EPP).
Before loading this device driver, check the documentation for the device
you want to connect to the parallel port and make sure it supports EPP
mode. If it does not, you do not need to load this device driver. If the
device does support EPP mode, you should:
1. Locate the EPP3SMC.EXE file on the MS-DOS partition you
created during the Quick Launch installation process.
Note the path where your driver is located:
C:\EPP\EPP3SMC.EXE
2. Edit your CONFIG.SYS file to enter the path for EPP3SMC.EXE.
Refer to your MS-DOS documentation for information on editing
your CONFIG.SYS file. For example a line in your CONFIG.SYS
might be:
device=C:\epp3smc.exe
3. Save the new version of your CONFIG.SYS file.
