Answers and Explanations
1 What do you do to upgrade the system BIOS?
b Use the BIOS flasher within the Windows NT operating system.
c Download the BIOS to a bootable flexible diskette, and flash it directly
on the PC.
d Flash the BIOS remotely from another PC on the local area network

2 How can you recover from the corruption of your operating system?
b Connect across to the remote server, and use the dynamic host
configuration protocol (DHCP) to restore the user's profile of the operating
system.
c Run the Windows NT Setup program from the i386 masters directory.
Setting the two system board switches together is for recovery from a BIOS
upgrade failure, not for recovery from a corrupted operating system.
3 Which of the following security options are amongst the many available?
a The user can set passwords independently of the system administrator.
b The system administrator can protect the hard disk drive from being
used by locking it in the Setup program.
c The user can set the user password to prevent people from changing
data on the hard disk.
The user password can only be set if the system administrator password is

being written to. Refer to the User's Guide that was supplied with the PC
for further information on security issues.
