Flashing the BIOS
NOTICE:
Plug the AC adapter into a known good power source to prevent a loss of
power. Failure to do so may cause system damage.
1 Ensure that the AC adapter is plugged in and that the main battery is
installed properly.
NOTE:
If you use a BIOS update program CD to flash the BIOS, press <F12> before
inserting the CD so that you can set up the computer to boot from a CD this one time
only. Otherwise, you must enter the system setup program to change the default
boot order.
2 Insert the BIOS update program CD, and turn on the computer.
NOTICE:
Do not interrupt this process once it begins. Doing so may cause system
damage.
Follow the instructions that appear on the screen. The computer continues
to boot and updates the new BIOS. When the flash update is complete,
the computer will automatically reboot.
3 Press <F2> during POST to enter the system setup program.
4 Press <Alt> and <f> to reset the computer defaults.
5 Press <Esc>, select Save changes and reboot, and press <Enter> to save
configuration changes.
