Configuring the 1002rp Pentium III BIOS

Introduction
BIOS is the Basic Input/Output System of the computer. It is Flash ROM-
based code. The system is equipped with Flash BIOS, which enables you to
upgrade by running a single program that writes updated code to the Flash
ROM chips.
When to upgrade the BIOS
Do not upgrade the BIOS unless specifically instructed to do so by your
Nortel Networks representative. The CallPilot server is shipped to the
customer with the required minimum BIOS vintage, so an upgrade is only
necessary if Nortel Networks deems this necessary to solve a system
problem.
When to configure the BIOS
BIOS configuration is performed at the factory before the CallPilot server is
shipped to the customer. It may be necessary to reconfigure the BIOS at a
customer site after a BIOS or CMOS failure and recovery.
Requirements for upgrading or reconfiguring the BIOS
