BIOS UPDATE UTILITY
The system BIOS resides on a flash ROM in the system. The flash ROM can be updated,
should it ever become necessary. This feature allows the ROM BIOS chip to be flashed with
a new BIOS code through software, rather than replacing the chip.
Update BIOS with a BIOS flash diskette which contains the latest version of the BIOS
code.. The diskette can be obtained from NEC Computer Systems Division or the latest
BIOS can be downloaded from the NECCSD Bulletin Board System (BBS) onto a diskette.
Use the following procedure to access the BBS for the latest version of the BIOS Update
utility. The procedure for flashing the BIOS with a flash diskette is described after the BBS
access procedure.
Downloading the BIOS Update Utility
Before downloading a BIOS update utility file, have an unformatted diskette ready to use
for the download. Log onto the BBS as follows.
