ROM can be updated using the following procedure. Before starting the BIOS update, NECC
recommends that you first contact NECC for assistance (see Section 8 for contact information).

of the BIOS code. You can get the diskette from NECC or download the BIOS from the NECC
website. See Section 8 for download and website information.
Update the BIOS from the BIOS FLASH diskette as follows.
1.
Write down the BIOS Setup parameters currently set on your system.
2.
Turn off the system.
3.
Put the flash diskette in drive A, and turn on the system.

5. When the menu asks you to enter a path/filename, use the arrow keys to select the “.bio”
file and press

Programming .
7. After the upgrade completes, remove the diskette.
