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 will be downloaded. You will need to

Installing a BIOS Update
If your computer is connected to a network, it is recommended
that you consult with your network administrator before
installing any software updates, especially system BIOS
updates.
BIOS installation procedures vary. Follow any instructions that
are displayed on the screen after the download is complete. If no
instructions are displayed:
1. Open Windows Explorer by clicking Start > All
Programs > Accessories > Windows Explorer.
2. In the left pane of the Windows Explorer window:
a. Click My Computer and then your hard drive
designation.
The hard drive designation is typically Local Disk (C:).
b. Using the hard drive path you recorded earlier, open the
folder on your hard drive that contains the update.
