Product data
When selected, this screen displays the machine type, model number, serial number,
BIOS date, and BIOS revision level. The BIOS revision level indicates the read-only
memory (ROM) level of the Network Station, and the last two entries in the revision
level indicate the language. The boot block revision level and the system board
identifier indicate the level of the boot block and logic board, respectively.
Determining the BIOS revision level
It may be necessary for the system administrator to determine the current
BIOS level of Network Station hardware, when helping customers diagnose
Network Station problems. Refer to the following procedure to determine the
Network Station’s BIOS level:
1. Power up the system.
2. After the IBM logo appears on the monitor, and the keyboard LEDs have
flashed, press the F1 key to enter the setup utility.
Note: Pressing F1 during the system’s keyboard test causes a false 301
Keyboard Error to display, and a prompt for the administrator
password to appear.
3. Type the administrator password to enter the setup utility.
Note: If you do not know the administrator password, press the ENTER
key.
4.
Once you have entered the setup utility, select the Product data menu.
5. The value listed in the Flash EEPROM revision-level field is the current
BIOS level.
