The FPU is an MS-DOS utility that will not run in the Windows NT environment. The system
must be set to boot from the floppy disk drive (normally drive A) to use these utilities. If
necessary, change the boot sequence according to "Changing the System Boot Sequence" in
this chapter.
When you reprogram the flash EPROM, resource assignments for ISA option boards and PC
Card devices are lost. Your system may have installed ISA option boards or PC Card devices
that require specific system resources such as interrupts (IRQs) or input/output (I/O) port
addresses. After reprogramming the BIOS, you must run the BIOS Setup again and reallocate
the system resources in the Chipset Setup menu.
NOTE Reprogramming the flash EPROM erases all the parameter settings in the BIOS. If you
customized any BIOS settings, record them before reprogramming the flash EPROM.
To reprogram the BIOS:
1. From the IBBS login, go to Intergraph Product Centers, Systems and Networking, File
Libraries, and Delivered Drivers; select the appropriate operating system and hardware
platform.
2. Find the FLASHPROG product and download it to a directory on your system.
3. Use an unzip utility to open the FLASHPROG product and extract the files from it.
4. Insert a blank 3.5-inch high-density floppy diskette into the floppy disk drive.
5. At the MS-DOS command prompt, in the directory containing the extracted files, key in
the following to create a MS-DOS boot diskette that contains the flash utility and the
BIOS files:
md c:\temp
install.bat
6. Shut down and power off the system; then restart the system.
7. At the MS-DOS command prompt, type in the following to run the FLASHPROG
product:
flash.exe
