Updating the BIOS
The BIOS flash memory update is required for the following conditions:
• New versions of system programs
• New features or options
• Restore a BIOS when it becomes corrupted.
NOTE: Observe the following when using the Flash utility to update the system BIOS flash ROM.
- If you do not have a Crisis Recovery disk at hand, then you should create a Crisis Recovery Disk
(See “Creating the BIOS Crisis Recovery Disk in Windows” on page 87) before you use the Flash
utility.
- Do not install memory-related drivers (XMS, EMS, DPMI) when you use the Flash utility.
- Make sure the battery pack is installed to the system and that the system is connected to a UPS unit
when you run the Flash utility. If the battery pack does not contain enough power to finish BIOS flash,
the system may not boot because the BIOS is not completely loaded.
