FLASH 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.
Performing an update is done with a BIOS flash diskette. The diskette, which contains the
latest version of the BIOS code, can be obtained from NEC Technologies or, if a modem is
available, the latest BIOS can be downloaded from NEC's Bulletin Board Service (BBS).
If a modem is available, use the following procedure to access the BBS for the latest
version of the BIOS Update utility. How to flash the BIOS with a flash diskette is described
following the BBS access procedure.
