Upgrading the BIOS
The system BIOS resides on a flash component. You can upgrade a flash BIOS
through software, without taking the system apart or replacing the flash component.
This appendix tells how to upgrade your system BIOS from a diskette particular for your
motherboard. Your service representative can provide you with the latest BIOS upgrade
for your system.
WARNING
Upgrading with a BIOS other than the one provided by Seanix will automatically
void the product warranty. Upgrading with the incorrect BIOS might cause
permanent unrecoverable damage to the motherboard.
Flashing the BIOS
1. Insert the BIOS diskette into your floppy drive. At A:\, type
“awdflash < BIOS filename >” and hit <enter>
2. A Flash EPROM Programming Utility screen pops up. Press “Y” to continue.
WARNING
System must NOT be turned off during the programming operation. The system
will re-boot if programming is successfully completed.
3. Please wait for the programming operation to complete. Once completed, take the
BIOS diskette out from the floppy drive and press any key to restart the computer.
4. Once the system has re-booted, go into the CMOS Setup main. Select “Load Setup
Defaults”. You can change this CMOS setting at a later time if you want to
customize your settings.
5. Save and exit the BIOS Setup Program.
