Chapter 7:
BIOS Updating Procedures
Introduction
The terminal's BIOS can be updated using a parallel CD-ROM drive
and software available on bootable CD-ROM media. The drivers
necessary to run the CD-ROM are temporarily installed during boot.
This chapter describes this procedure.
It is also possible to perform a BIOS update using a network
connection. Refer to the NCR FitClient Software User's Guide for
information about that procedure.
Crisis Recovery
In the event the BIOS becomes corrupt, such as the result of a power
failure during the BIOS Update procedure, you can use the method
discussed later in this chapter in the BIOS Crisis Recovery section to
recover the BIOS.
