In the fn+esc display, the version of the system BIOS (basic
input-output system) is displayed as the BIOS date. On some
notebook models, the BIOS date is displayed in decimal format.
The BIOS date is sometimes called the system ROM version
number. For information about updating the system ROM, refer to
the
