Upgrading The BIOS
The system BIOS resides on a flash component. You can upgrade a flash BIOS
through software, without taking the system apart or replacing the flash component.
This appendix tells how to upgrade your system BIOS from a diskette in particular for
your motherboard. Your service representative can provide you with the latest BIOS
upgrade for your system.
WARNING
Upgrading BIOS other than the one provided by the Motherboard manufacturer
will automatically have the product warranty voided. Using the incorrect BIOS for
upgrade might cause permanent unrecoverable damage to the motherboard.
