Updating the System BIOS
The Micronics system boards are designed so that the
BIOS can be reprogrammed using a BIOS file. You can
easily FLASH a BIOS by following the steps below:
1) After downloading the appropriate BIOS file from
our BBS or Website, extract it to a bootable MS-
DOS 6.X diskette.
2) Reboot your system with the MS-DOS 6.X diskette
in the A: drive. To make sure a clean DOS environ-
ment is loaded, press the F5 key while “Starting MS-
DOS” is displayed. After the system has rebooted,
the cursor will appear at the A:> prompt.
3) Now you can run the FLASH utility. The filename
should be “PHLASH.EXE.” Type this filename at
the A:> prompt (but don’t include its extension),
followed by a space and the BIOS ROM image’s
filename. This file will be included in the download
and has a file length of about 131K or 262K. For
example, to update the M6DPi to BIOS version 01,
you would type:
PHLASH M6DPi_01.ROM [ENTER]
4) After the update process has completed and the
system reboots, verify that the new BIOS version
appears on-screen. If you have problems during this
process, or if you have questions about the proce-
dure, please call Technical Support.
NOTE: If you prefer to send your system board in for the
upgrade, the Micronics RMA department offers this
service free of charge if your system board is under
warranty.
