Note
BIOS of PCI/EISA servers is located in a Flash ROM on the motherboard. If
necessary, it can be updated with a bootable diskette which has the new
BIOS (.BIN) file. This file will be named:
•
M4PE_Txx.BIN for DX2-66 models
•
M5PE_Txx.BIN for Pentium models
Where xx is the BIOS level as it appears when booting.
For more information on how to obtain BIOS updates, please reference
Appendix B, “Hardware Compatibility, Device Driver, and Software Patch
Information” on page 199.
Attention! Make sure you have the right file for your system. The process
will allow you to install the wrong file. If you do, the server will not reboot
successfully; instead, at power on, the screen will be blank and the system
will beep twice. The only fix is to replace the motherboard.
