FLASH Utility
The system BIOS resides on a ROM chip in the system and is updated using the
following procedure. Before starting the BIOS update, NEC recommends that
you first contact NEC CSD for assistance (see Section 8 for contacts).
Update the Flash ROM with a BIOS flash diskette. You can get the diskette
from NEC CSD or download the BIOS from the NEC CSD website or Bulletin
Board System (BBS). See Section 8 for download, website, and bulletin board
system information.
Update the BIOS from the BIOS flash diskette as follows.
1.
Write down the BIOS Setup parameters currently set on your system, then
turn off the system.
2.
Put the flash diskette in drive A and turn on the system.
3.
At the flash upgrade menu, type
Y
(without parenthesis) when prompted to
save the existing BIOS.
When asked for a file name for the existing BIOS, choose a name easily
recognized and with no more than eight characters. An extension is not
required but, if desired, you can use
.rom
(without parenthesis).
Press
Enter
to save the existing BIOS file.
4.
At the prompt asking for a file name for the BIOS update:
Use the form biosname.rom where biosname represents the BIOS
filename of the BIOS update on the diskette.
