Updating the BIOS

If you need a new version of the BIOS, you can download the BIOS update from Gateway, 
then install the new version from a diskette.

To update the BIOS:

1

Print the appendix for 

“BIOS Settings” on page 149

.

2

Restart your server, then press 

F2

 when the Gateway logo screen appears during 

startup. 

3

Record any custom BIOS settings on your printout.

4

Download the BIOS update from 

support.gateway.com

.

5

Follow the instructions in the self-extracting BIOS update file.

6

Enter any custom BIOS settings you recorded in 

Step 3

, then save your changes and 

close the BIOS Setup utility.

Rolling BIOS

The BIOS flash memory of this server is divided into two partitions: a primary (active) 
partition from which the server boots, and a secondary partition to which BIOS updates 
are diverted. When a BIOS update occurs, the existing BIOS image is preserved on the 
primary partition and the system is automatically prompted to attempt to boot from the 
new BIOS (on the secondary partition). If a boot failure occurs with the new BIOS, the 
system will revert to the old BIOS on the other partition.

To manually select the BIOS boot partition:

1

Turn off the server, then disconnect the power cords and all other cables connected 
to the server.

2

Follow the instructions in 

“Opening the server case” on page 42

.

Caution

Moving the jumper while the power is on can damage your server. 
Always turn off the server and unplug the power cords and all other 
cables before changing the jumper.
