BIOS Flash Utility
The BIOS flash memory update is required for the following conditions:
•
New versions of system programs.
•
New features or options.
•
Restore a BIOS when it becomes corrupted.
Use the Phlash utility to update the system BIOS flash ROM.
Follow the steps below to run the Phlash:
1
Prepare a bootable diskette.
2
Copy the flash utilities to the bootable diskette.
3
Then boot the system from the bootable diskette. The flash utility has
auto-execution function.
Important
If you do not have a crisis recovery diskette at hand, then you should
create a Crisis Recovery Diskette before you use the Phlash utility.
Do not install memory-related drivers (XMS, EMS, DPMI) when you use
the Phlash.
Caution
Use the AC adapter power supply when you run the Phlash or Nkbcf
utility. If the battery pack does not contain enough power to finish flashing
the BIOS, the notebook may not boot because the BIOS was not completely
loaded.
