9.9 Download CORE-BIOS
Before downloading a BIOS, please check as follows:
- Make a bootable diskette including the following files:
- DELEP855.EXE
- phlash16.exe*
- core BIOS (SM855_xx_FLASHABL.ROM)
Rename the SM855_xx_FLASHABL.ROM file to bios.wph
* = see ATTENTION below
IMPORTANT:
Do not use boot disks created in a Windows operating system. If you do not have a MSDOS 6.22 disk avail-
able, you can download a boot disk from www.bootdisk.com .
NOTE:
Use SM855_xx_FLASHABL.ROM for downloading with the phlash16.exe.
The bios SM855_xx.cor is only usable for external programmer.
- Boot the DOS without config.sys & autoexec.bat -> press “F5” while starting DOS boot.
- Disable the EMM386 or other memory managers in the CONFIG.SYS of your bootdisk
- Make sure, that the PHLASH16.EXE programm and the BIOS to download are on the
same path and directory!
- Is the empty diskspace, where the PHLASH16.EXE is located, larger than 64kB (for safe storage)
- Is the floppydisk not write-protected
Start the DOWNLOADING process:
1. Start the system with the bootable diskette. If you do not have a bootable diskette or floppy drive,
you may can start in DOS mode by pressing the F5 key to disable the autoexec.bat and config.sys.
2. Run DELEP855.EXE to clear the CMOS and the EEPROM
IF YOU DO NOT RUN THE DELEP855.EXE, THE SYSTEM WILL BE DESTROYED DURING THE BIOS
UPGRADE!
1. Run phlash16.exe bios.wph /mode=3
2. If the bios download is finished you have to power off the system
3. Power on the system and wait for the long “beep” signal
