Using Your NEC Versa 4-37
Updating the System BIOS
Use the following steps to update your NEC Versa system BIOS with the
BIOS Update diskette (BUD). Specifically, the BIOS is the code transmitted
onto your system’s microprocessor, or central processing unit (CPU).
NOTE
You only need to update the BIOS if NEC makes significant
improvements or fixes to the current system BIOS. Your authorized
NEC dealer, or Technical Support Service representative can help
you determine this.
If you are informed that the default BIOS needs an upgrade, you can receive
a copy of the BUD by contacting the NEC Versa Diskette Fulfillment Center
at (800) 842-6446, or NEC Customer Service and Support (800) 632-4525,
Fax (508) 635-4666. You can also download from NEC’s BBS at (508)
635-4706.
You must use only the BIOS upgrade diskette for your specific model.
NOTE
If you purchased and are using this computer outside the
U.S., please contact a local NEC office or dealer in your country.
They will provide you with BIOS upgrades.
