Upgrade to a New BIOS
Sometimes a new BIOS is released to enhance the performance of
your computer, make it compatible with new hardware or software, or
to correct a defect. You can download BIOS updates from the
Rockwell Automation website
http://www.ab.com/industrialcomputers to update your computer.
Follow these steps to update the BIOS in your computer.
1. Attach a monitor and keyboard to your computer.
For the 200R computer, connect an external USB floppy drive.
2. On any computer connected to the Internet and containing a
floppy disk, go to the website
http://www.ab.com/industrialcomputers.
3. Click Support Resources>Drivers.
4. Click the link matching your computer’s description and
navigate to the specific product.
5. Click the link for the specific BIOS download and save it to the
hard drive.
6. Unzip the download.
7. Run the extracted executable and choose to write on the floppy
drive.
This creates a BIOS update floppy disk that you can use to start
your VersaView computer.
8. Load the floppy disk containing the BIOS update in your
VersaView computer and restart the computer.
9. Follow the directions that appear on the computer screen to
properly update the BIOS.
