Updating The Bios; Preparing The Bios Update Diskette - NEC VERSA LX Manual

Updating the BIOS

Use the BIOS Update Diskette to update your NEC Versa system BIOS.
Specifically, the BIOS is the code transmitted onto your system's
microprocessor, or central processing unit (CPU). Use the BIOS Setup
utility to configure your system's hardware features. For details about
the BIOS Setup utility, see the section earlier in this chapter, "BIOS
Setup."
If you are informed that the default BIOS needs an update contact the
NECC Support Services at (800) 632-4525, Fax (801) 981-3133, or
access the web site, www.nec-computers.com to obtain a copy of the
BIOS update.
Only use the BIOS upgrade diskette for your specific model and be sure
to prepare the diskette before updating the BIOS.

flash ready. Refer to the readme.txt file on the diskette before using the
