Appendix G BIOS rewrite procedures
This Appendix explains how to rewrite the system BIOS program when you update the
system BIOS.
Tools
To rewrite the BIOS, you need the following tool:
BIOS/EC/KBC rewriting disk for the computer that has renewed BIOS data.
Rewriting the BIOS
1. Set the system to boot mode.
2. Turn off the power to the computer.
3. Remove the external cable and PC card.
4. Connect an USB FDD and insert the BIOS/EC/KBC rewriting disk into the USB
FDD.
5. Turn on the power while holding down the No. 01 key.
For example
(US Keyboard)
(UK Keyboard)
(Keep holding down the key until beep sounds.)
The BIOS rewriting starts.
6. When the process is completed, the system is automatically rebooted.
NOTE: 1. Connect the AC adapter to the computer when you rewrite the BIOS.
2. Do not turn off the power while you are rewriting the BIOS.
If the rewrite fails, it might be impossible to start up the computer.
3. If you fail to rewrite BIOS, then when you next turn on the power, a
message may be displayed that the contents of the BIOS have been erased.
In this case, insert the BIOS/EC/KBC rewriting disk and the BIOS will be
rewritten.
