BIOS Update Utility
The system BIOS resides on a flash ROM in the system. The flash ROM can be updated, should it ever
become necessary. This feature allows the ROM BIOS chip to be flashed with a new BIOS code through
software, rather than replacing the chip.
Performing an update is done with a BIOS Update utility file. The file can be downloaded from the NECCSD
Bulletin Board System (BBS).
Use the following procedure to access the BBS for the latest version of the BIOS Update utility. How to flash
the BIOS with the utility is described after the BBS access procedure.
NECCSD Bulletin Board System
See Section 4 for the procedure for logging onto the BBS. Have an unformatted diskette ready to use for the
download.
