Downloading a BIOS update
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the Slate or an unsuccessful installation, download and
install a BIOS update only when the Slate is connected to reliable external power using the AC
adapter. Do not download or install a BIOS update while the Slate is running on battery power,
docked in an optional docking device, or connected to an optional power source. During the
download and installation, follow these instructions:
Do not disconnect power from the Slate by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet.
Do not shut down the Slate or initiate Sleep or Hibernation.
Do not insert, remove, connect, or disconnect any device, cable, or cord.

to download.

At the download area, follow these steps:
a. Identify the BIOS update that is later than the BIOS version currently installed on your Slate.

the update later, after it has been downloaded to your hard drive.
b. Follow the instructions on the screen to download your selection to the hard drive.
Make a note of the path to the location on your hard drive where the BIOS update is to be
downloaded. You will need to access this path when you are ready to install the update.

any software updates, especially system BIOS updates.
