If you have a formatted floppy, place the floppy in drive a: and type "sys a:".

1. Be sure to verify that the correct BIOS has been downloaded.
a. AMI BIOS: the last three characters will be identical to the current BIOS version
b. PhoenixBIOS: the first eleven characters will be identical to the current BIOS version
2. Enter BIOS SETUP upon boot up by following the on-screen prompt, ie F1 or F2 depending on the BIOS.
3. Write down all settings that are unique to the system. These settings will be needed later to reconfigure the system.
4. Create a bootable floppy diskette using the instructions at the beginning of this document.
5. Extract bios.exe to the bootable floppy:
a. In a DOS environment: Type "bios a:".
b. In a non-DOS environment: Create a new directory. Move 'bios.exe' into the directory. Double click on 'bios.exe'. Copy all the files in the directory except 'bios.exe' to the bootable floppy.
6. Place the bootable floppy containing the new BIOS into drive a: of the system to be upgraded and boot the system.
7. Press ENTER when prompted.
8. Highlight "Update Flash Memory From a File" and press ENTER.
9. Highlight "Update System BIOS" and press ENTER.
10. Press TAB once to highlight the file name and press ENTER.
11. The system will now give a warning stating that continuing will destroy the current contents of the flash memory area. Press ENTER to continue.
12. When prompted that the BIOS has been successfully loaded, remove the bootable floppy from the drive and press ENTER to reboot the system.
13. Press F1 or F2 to enter SETUP.
14. On the first screen within SETUP, check the BIOS version to ensure that it is the new version.
15. In SETUP load the default values.
a. AMI BIOS: Press the F5 key.
b. PhoenixBIOS: Go to the exit submenu and highlight "Load Setup Defaults". Press ENTER. If you do not set the values back to defaults the system may function erratically.
16. If the system has unique settings, re-enter those settings now. Press F10 to save the values and exit Setup.

Note: If you encounter a CMOS Checksum error or other problems after rebooting, try rebooting the system again. CMOS checksum errors require that you enter Setup, check and save your settings, and exit Setup.
