New BIOS is now available
Warning!
During the BIOS update process, you must make sure not to power off Z64. Otherwise,
the whole Z64 system will be crashed due to inappropriate BIOS update process. It
means you cannot help sending back the Z64 device to your vendor for repair which is
time consuming!
