Updating the BIOS
If you need a new version of the BIOS, you can download the BIOS update from
Gateway, then install the new version from a diskette.
To update the BIOS:
1 Print the appendix for BIOS Settings in this guide.
2 Download the BIOS update from support.gateway.com.
3 Restart your server, then press F2 when the Gateway logo screen appears
during startup.
4 Record any custom BIOS settings on your printout.
5 Follow the instructions in the self-extracting BIOS update file.
6 Enter any custom BIOS settings you recorded in Step 4, then save your
changes and close the BIOS Setup utility.
Recovering the BIOS
If you encounter a problem while you are updating the BIOS, such as a power
outage, the BIOS update may not be successful. You can try to recover the BIOS
by setting a system board jumper.
To recover the BIOS:
1 Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on
page 41.
2 Turn off the server, then disconnect the power cord and all other cables
connected to the server.
3 Remove the side panel. For more information, see “Opening the server
case” on page 42.
