BIOS Updating Procedure 8-123
SPI/BIOS Updating Procedures
1. Insert the USB device containing the SPI/BIOS update software into the terminal.
2. Connect a USB keyboard.
3. Apply power. Validate that the SPI/BIOS configuration setup has the device
containing the BIOS media as the first boot device in the Boot Menu or plan on
using the
[F8] override to force the correct boot device. Select the USB device from
the list of boot devices.
4. The terminal boots and displays the SPI/BIOS Update main menu.
There are six options from the main menu to run the update program. Three run
automatically and two are interactive.
Option 1, the Automatic SPI and BIOS Update
executes automatically in 10 seconds unless the up/down arrow is pressed.
Automatic Method
With the Automatic Method you may see a prompt to enter the DMI (Desktop
Management Interface), which is the terminal Class/Model/Serial information. This
happens if the program detects invalid DMI information in the current BIOS, or if
you are replacing the processor board, which has no Class/Model/Serial information
in the BIOS. DMI information is mandatory.
Interactive Method
This method permits you to input/replace the Class/Model/Serial information that is
stored in the BIOS.
Note: DMI information that is currently stored in the BIOS is displayed during
power up. Press [Tab] at the NCR Logo to remove the logo. Press [Pause] to freeze
the screen. Press
[Esc]
to continue.
Make a menu selection and follow the screen prompts (Option 1 is recommended).
