BIOS Update
The KONTRON update tool (based on the AMD utility 'FlashROM.com') is only available for the DOS ope-
rating system. First copy the files IPLXUPD.EXE, UPDATE.EXT (absolutely essential) and the BIOS file to a
directory. Only the following combination of command line arguments has been tested and should be used
for the update process.
Note: COMMAND.COM must reside in the same directory or alternatively there has to be a valid path in the
variable COMSPEC.
The syntax of the DOS update tool is:
IPLXUPD
/C /R
<BIOS filename>
/C
= destroy CMOS checksum
/R
= warmstart after programming
Following combinations are valid:
IPLXUPD <BIOS filename>
IPLXUPD
/C
<BIOS filename>
IPLXUPD
/C /R
<BIOS filename>

Known Restrictions
When a USB drive (e.g. a key) is used for the Bios update it is recommended to switch off the power supply
after the update process. Reason: after a warmstart sometimes the Bios does not detect USB drives.
