Flash BIOS Updating
Flash BIOS Updating
The EPC supports flash BIOS updates for system BIOS. These updates are
accomplished by running the
NEW.BAT
file, which contains the DOS executable
NEWBIOS.EXE
The
Utilities
diskette contains Flash formatting files in the root directory, and a
subdirectory named using a 5-digit number to indicate the BIOS level included on the
diskette. At this writing, this subdirectory is
\30505
(BIOS version 3.05.05).
The
NEWBIOS
program executes in either self-hosted or remote download modes.
Self-hosted mode is for updating the flash BIOS of the system in which the
NEWBIOS
program is executing and is the default mode.
Remote download is only necessary for reprogramming BIOSes damaged by a power
failure during a previous BIOS update process. Remote download requires a remote
PC connected by a NULL modem to the EPC’s COM1: port. On a standard DB-9
connector, the NULL modem should have pin 2 (Transmit Data) connected to pin 3
(Receive Data) and also pin 7 (Clear To Send) connected to pin 8 (Request To Send).
Pin 5 (Signal ground) should be a direct connection between the DCE and DTE
devices. The command line must contain the
/P
parameter to indicate which port is to
be used on the computer running the
NEWBIOS
program (not the COM port on the
EPC). For example, use
/P = 1
for COM1 on the source computer.
NEWBIOS
can run from the floppy drive or the hard disk. To install the update files
on your hard disk, create a subdirectory on your hard disk drive and use the DOS
COPY
command to copy the files from the
\30505
directory.
