Flash Utility - DEC Digital PC 3500 System Reference Manual

Using the BIOS Setup Utility

Flash Utility

All computers have BIOS software in a read-only, non-volatile memory (ROM) chip.
This BIOS initializes hardware and boots the operating system when the computer is
turned on. The BIOS also provides access to other services such as keyboard and
disk drives.
Your computer comes equipped with flash memory. This means that you can restore
your computer's BIOS simply by running the flash utility. If necessary, you can also
upgrade your computer's BIOS to future releases by running the flash utility along
with any flash BIOS update diskette.
Only use the flash utility to upgrade your computer's BIOS if you are instructed to do
so by an authorized DIGITAL support representative. You can download BIOS
updates along with the flash utility and instructions on how to flash your computer's
BIOS from DIGITAL's web site:
