Updating the BIOS
All systems that are updating from VENUE software version 5.1.0 or lower must first update the E6L engine BIOS. Other versions
of VENUE software might also require a BIOS update (the installer will inform you of this during installation).
If you are performing a System Restore or Software Update on a system that is already running VENUE software version 5.1.1 or
higher, and the VENUE software installer does not prompt you to update the BIOS, you can skip these instructions.
Updating your system to BIOS 50 involves the following steps:
• Collecting the Required Components
•
Creating the BIOS 50 Update Key
• Updating the BIOS on the E6L
