Appendix G  BIOS Rewrite Procedures 

This Appendix explains how to rewrite the system BIOS program when you update the 
system BIOS. 

 
Tools 

 

To rewrite the BIOS, you need the following tool: 

‰

 

BIOS/EC/KBC rewriting disk  

 

Rewriting the BIOS

 

1.

 

Set the system to boot mode. 

2.

 

Turn off the power to the computer. 

3.

 

Remove the external cables and cards. 

4.

 

Connect an external FDD and insert the BIOS rewriting disk into the external FDD. 

5.

 

Turn on the power while holding down the tilde character key until a beep sounds. 

 

  For example 

  

(US Keyboard) 

   (UK Keyboard) 

(Keep holding down the key.)   
 

6.

 

The BIOS rewriting starts. 

7.

 

When the process is completed, it beeps and the system automatically reboots. 

 

NOTE:  1.  Connect the AC adapter to the computer when you rewrite the BIOS. 

 

2.  Do not turn off the power while you are rewriting the BIOS. 

If the rewrite fails, it might be impossible to start up the computer. 

 

3.  If you fail to rewrite BIOS, then when you next turn on the power, a message 

may be displayed that the contents of the BIOS have been erased.  In this 
case, insert the BIOS rewriting disk and the BIOS will be rewritten.
