the following sections.
Updating the BIOS
To update your system BIOS, use only the BIOS update diskette
included with the NEC Versa Dock and be sure to prepare the diskette
before upgrading the BIOS.
Preparing the BIOS Update Diskette
Before using the BIOS update diskette, you must make a backup copy of
it and make the backup diskette BIOS flash ready. Refer to the
readme.txt file on the diskette before using the diskette.
