Using the AFlash BIOS Utility
This section contains information on using the AFlash
BIOS utility.
When installing CPU boards be aware of the
following:
Do not install memory-related drivers (XMS, EMS, or
DPMI) when you use Aflash.
There are two released versions of system BIOS. One
is for uniprocessor CPU boards, and the other is for
dual processor CPU boards. These versions of BIOS
are
not interchangeable. Flashing the incorrect version
renders the system unusable.
For example, if you flash the version released for a
uniprocessor CPU board on a system configured with
a dual processor CPU board, you cannot use the
system. If this happens, you must insert the
appropriate CPU board into the system and reflash the
original BIOS.
Refer to the diskette label to make sure you are using
the appropriate BIOS for your system configuration.
The AFlash BIOS utility has three functions that support
all the operations required for system Flash ROM
directly from or to the DOS file:
