Appendix C: Software Installation
C-5
After the BIOS Image file is loaded, the following screen will appear:
10. When "Reset NVRAM to default value? (y/n)" is displayed, type "y" at the prompt
if you want to reset all default values after flashing the BIOS. (Yes: this will reset
your NVRAM, which typically resets your boot options in EFI to the manufacturer
defaults. If you previously added options to boot from a CD-ROM or Windows, these
will disappear after NVRAM is reset, and in this case you will have to re-add the
options. No: this will leave NVRAM alone, thus your boot options will remain the
same as before BIOS was flashed.) Type "n" at the prompt if you want to keep the
default values after BIOS flashing as shown in the screen above.
11. When "Proceed with flash update? (y/n)" is displayed, type "y" at the prompt to
update the BIOS. Type "n" at the prompt if you do not wish to update the BIOS. If
you type "y", the system will automatically update the BIOS file.
12. After BIOS is updated, you will be prompted with "Reset CMOS to default values
(will be done during the next boot?) y/n?. Choose "y" if you want to reset BIOS to
the manufacturer’s default settings during the next boot, or "n" if you only want to
update BIOS without resetting it to the manufacturer’s default settings. Please note
that this reset will not affect EFI boot options.
13. You will then be prompted with "Reset the system? y/n?". Type "y" at the prompt
if you want to automatically reboot the system.
