BIOS Flash Utility
From time to time, changes are made to a computer system’s
BIOS. While not essential, it is usually beneficial to upgrade
if there is a new BIOS for your system. Check the NEC CSD
Bulletin Board Service (BBS) and NEC CSD website for
information regarding an update to your system’s BIOS. See
Chapter 7 for information on accessing the BBS and the
website. If there is one available, the BBS will have both the
BIOS itself and instructions for downloading it.
Update the BIOS from the BIOS flash diskette as follows.
1.
Write down the setup parameters currently set on your
system.
2.
Turn off the system.
3.
Insert the flash upgrade diskette in drive A and turn on
the system.
4.
When the flash upgrade menu appears, choose “Update
Flash Memory Area from a file.”
5.
When the menu asks you to enter a path/filename, use the
arrow keys to select the .bio file, and press
Enter
.
6.
The utility asks for a confirmation that you want to load
the new flash upgrade into memory. Select “Continue
with Programming.”
