ports for an available JRC connection. If detected, it loads the
JRC client BIOS extension into the memory. With the JRC client
loaded into the first detected free memory
C0000hex and DFFFFhex, a 16K block is shadowed.

LAN PXE ROM
If the onboard LAN PXE ROM is enabled in the system BIOS setup,
a special optional ROM for the Ethernet controller loads into
memory during boot up. This optional ROM allows you to boot the
coolMONSTER/PM over an Ethernet connection. A server with Intel
PXE boot support is required on the other side of the Ethernet
connection. The setup and configuration of the server, including
PXE support, is not the responsibility of Kontron.
The PXE ROM extension is loaded into the first free memory area
between C0000hex and DFFFFhex and a 16K block of memory is
shadowed.

25.10 Updating or Restoring BIOS Using
PhoenixPhlash
PhoenixPhlash allows you to update the BIOS by using a floppy
disk without having to install a new ROM chip. PhoenixPhlash is
a utility used to flash a BIOS to the Flash ROM installed on the
coolMONSTER/PM.
Use PhoenixPhlash to:
†
Update the current BIOS with a newer version
†
Restore a corrupt BIOS

Flashing a BIOS
Use the following procedure to update or restore a BIOS.
1. Download the Phoenix Phlash compressed file, CRDxLEUB.ZIP,
from the KONTRON Embedded Modules Web site or contact your
local technical support for it. It contains the following
files:
File
MAKEBOOT.EXE
Creates the custom boot sector on the Crisis Recovery Diskette.
CRISBOOT.BIN
Serves as the Crisis Recovery boot sector code.
MINIDOS.SYS
Allows the system to boot in Crisis Recovery Mode.
PHLASH16.EXE
WINCRIS.EXE
Creates the Crisis Recovery Diskette from Windows.
WINCRIS.HLP
Serves as the help file of WINCRISES.EXE.
CRISDISK.BAT
BIOS.WPH
Serves as the actual BIOS image to be programmed into Flash ROM.
2. Install Phoenix Phlash on a hard disk by unzipping the
content of CRDxLEUB.ZIP into a local directory such as
C:\PHLASH.
3. Create a Crisis Recovery Diskette by inserting a blank
diskette into Drive A: or B: and execute WINCRISIS.EXE.
This at least copies three files onto the diskette.
File
