Page 53: Flash Writer Utility
6.0 Flash Writer Utility You can upgrade the BIOS of your mainboard by using a "Flash Memory Writer"(FMW) utility. This utility can be downloaded from the factory's BBS(Consult your system vendor for the phone #). The system BIOS is stored on a 'flash' EPROM ROM chip on the mainboard which can be erased and reprogrammed by the FMW. - Page 54 To reprogram the System BIOS, you must first do the following: 1. Check jumpers J42, J43, and J44. The S1468 uses a 5V Flash EPROM so these three jumpers should be left in the default postion on pins 1 and 2. These jumper should never be moved.
-
Page 55: The Flash Memory Writer Utility Screen
Once you have satisfied the two requirements mentioned above, you can run FMW. You can copy the contents of the “Flash” directory to your hard drive, or you can run the utility from a backup of the support floppy disk. Make sure the new BIOS file is in the same directory as the FMW utility. -
