Updating the BIOS
If you need a new version of the BIOS, you can download the BIOS update
from the technical support area on the Gateway Web site
(www.gatewayatwork.com) and install the new version from a diskette.
To update the BIOS you need to perform the following tasks in sequence:
■
Create a bootable diskette
■
Note the current BIOS settings
■
Create the BIOS update diskette
■
Update the BIOS
■
Restore the BIOS settings
Follow the detailed instructions for updating the BIOS that are included in
the self-extracting file that you can download from the technical support area
of Gateway’s Web site.
Important
Whenever the BIOS is updated, the microcode table is
returned to the default setting. To update the table to the
proper settings for your processor, you must run the
MULOADER.EXE program, which is available from the
same site where you obtain the BIOS update files.
