(see sidebar for important information on BIOS versions).

Unzip the downloaded files to a bootable CD/DVD/ or USB Flash drive

downloaded files.
2. Use a tool such as Winzip or Winrar to unzip all the BIOS files and refresh tools to your bootable CD/DVD/USB
flash drive (you may need to create a bootable CD/DVD with the files using a 3rd party software).

computer and press F2 (in most cases) to enter the BIOS.

BIOS Update

BIOS Version
Make sure you down-
load the latest correct
version of the BIOS ap-
propriate for the com-
puter model you are
working on.
You should only
download BIOS ver-
sions that are
V1.01.XX or higher as
appropriate for your
computer model.
Note that BIOS versions
are not backward com-
patible and therefore
you may not down-
grade your BIOS to an
older version after up-
grading to a later ver-
sion (e.g if you upgrade
a BIOS to ver 1.01.05,
you MAY NOT then go
back and flash the BIOS
to ver 1.01.04).
