Using BIOS configuration options to re-program the flash chip
1. If you plan to re-program the Boot Block, connect the Boot Block Write Enable
pins:
A. Turn system power off, then remove the EPC-3307 from the CompactPCI
chassis.
B. Connect these pins:
C. Power up the EPC-3307 and run the BIOS configuration program.
2. Select the Exit and Update BIOS option in the BIOS configuration program’s
Exit menu
. The BIOS configuration program instructs the BIOS to run an
update (re-program the flash chip) upon reboot, then terminates and reboots the
system.
3. Re-program the flash chip:
A. Insert the Flash Boot diskette into the floppy drive.
The phlash.exe program automatically runs and re-programs the flash chip.
A. Remove the Flash Boot diskette from the drive when the drive stops
accessing the disk.
4. If you re-programmed the Boot Block, remove the Boot Block write enable
jumper and return the system to normal operation:
A. Turn system power off.
B. Locate the BIOS configuration jumper block and disconnect the Boot Block
Write Enable pins.
C. Replace the EPC-3307 in the CompactPCI chassis.
D. Power up the EPC-3307.
Do not install this jumper unless a Boot Block update is required. A BIOS
boot block rarely changes and seldom, if ever, requires re-programming.
