2.3 Upgrading AlphaBIOS
As new versions of Windows NT are released, it might be necessary to upgrade
AlphaBIOS to the latest version. Additionally, as improvements are made to
AlphaBIOS, it might be desirable to upgrade to take advantage of new features.
To upgrade from an earlier version of AlphaBIOS:
1. Insert the diskette or CD–ROM containing the AlphaBIOS upgrade.
2. Run the AlphaBIOS Setup program by restarting your system and pressing
F2 when the boot screen is displayed.
3. In the main AlphaBIOS Setup screen, select Upgrade AlphaBIOS and press
Enter.
This menu option is used to upgrade to later versions of AlphaBIOS. When
you choose this option, the existing AlphaBIOS searches for an executable
AlphaBIOS update file, first on CD–ROM, then on diskette. Once the update
file has been found, AlphaBIOS executes it, and the firmware is upgraded.
4. After the upgrade is complete, the system either resets automatically or
prompts you to reset it.
