Technical Manual
6.2. BIOS Update
The Update Tool is available for three Operating Systems: DOS, WINDOWS 98 / 2000 / XP and LINUX (for
more details read the ReadMe.txt file in the folder UpdateTools). The Windows tool is a console application
and should be started from within the Command Prompt.
For Windows and DOS there are two batch files (UpdDOS.bat and UpdWIN.bat). The reason is that only
certain parameters guarrantee error-free execution of the System-BIOS after an update.
For example: If you only use the Switch /I in combination with the file name, a message that the CMOS data is
corrupted will appear after each power up.
Using the Update Tools
Only the following combination of command line arguments has been tested and should be used for the
update. The example shows the use of the DOS Update tool in combination with these arguments. The
arguments are the same for the Windows and the LINUX tool.
Example:
AFUDOS /I<BIOS filename> /pbnc
p = Use additional parameters
b = Overwrite Boot Block
n = Overwrite NVRAM
c = Clear CMOS values
