RECEIVING THE BUU
If you obtained a BUD from NEC, continue to the next sec-
tion, "Start-Up." Otherwise, use the following procedure to
download the latest version of the BIOS Update utility to a
diskette. This procedure assumes you are using an optional
modem.
The filename that you enter to download the BIOS Update
diskette looks similar to Lxxx0nB3.EXE.
"L" and the three numbers "xxx" following L specify a
laptop file for a particular system.
The "n" is the number that specifies the revision number of
the BIOS. For example, "0" downloads the BIOS version
that ships with your system; a "1" downloads a BIOS
Update diskette with a revision level of 1.
"B3" creates a 3-1/2-inch BIOS Update diskette.
NOTE: The BBS screens contain information that
you might want to read at some later time. The fol-
lowing procedure steps you through downloading as
simply as possible.
From the Windows Program Manager, select
1.
"Accessories" and double click on "Terminal."
From the settings menu, select "Communications" and
2.
check that the settings match the BBS parameters.
The BBS parameters are as follows.
Baud rate: 2400 to 9600 bps
Parity: none
Data bits: 8
Stop bits: 1
