BIOS
4. If you selected option 2, to manually update the BIOS or to update the flash memory,
you can either select "Update Flash Memory From a File" or "Update System BIOS":
Update Flash Memory From a File: When prompted for a file name, type BIOS.wph
and press Enter.
Update System BIOS: The system will warn you that the BIOS will be updated.
Verify the BIOS version is correct and press Enter to continue. When the update is
complete, the utility will display a green box with a message that says "Completed
Successfully." The system will then reboot.
5. Wait while the BIOS files are updated. Do not power down the system during the BIOS
update process! The system should reset automatically when the BIOS update process
is completed. If it does not and the green box is displayed, go ahead and reboot the
machine manually. Remove the diskette from the diskette drive.
6. Check to make sure the BIOS version displayed during POST is the new version as the
system reboots.
7. Enter Setup by pressing the F2 key during boot. Once in Setup, press the F9 and
<Enter> to set the parameters back to default values. If you do not set the CMOS
values back to defaults using the F9 key, the system may function erratically.
8. Re-enter the values you wrote down at the beginning of this process, or if you saved
your Custom Defaults, reload them by choosing from the Exit menu, the Load Custom
Defaults option. Press F10 and <Enter> to exit BIOS Setup and Save Changes.
Note: You may encounter a CMOS Checksum error or other problem after reboot. Try shutting
down the system and booting up again. CMOS checksum errors require that you enter Setup,
check your settings, save your settings, and exit Setup.

ensure a quick recovery should it happen. The following steps explain how to create the crisis
recovery diskette.
You can obtain the Crisdisk.exe file needed to create the crisis disk from the Intel Customer
