Updating The Bios - Gateway 7210 System Manual

Updating the BIOS

If you need a new version of the BIOS, you can download the BIOS update
from technical support on the Gateway Web site (www.gateway.com) and
install the new version from a diskette.
To update the BIOS you need to perform the following tasks in sequence:
Create a bootable diskette
Note the current BIOS settings
Create the BIOS update diskette
Update the BIOS
Restore the BIOS settings
Follow the detailed instructions for updating the BIOS that are included in
the self-extracting file that you can download from the technical support area
of Gateway's Web site.
Important
Whenever the BIOS is updated, the microcode table is returned
to the default setting. To update the table to the proper settings
for your processor, you must run the MULOADER.EXE program,
which is available from the same site where you obtain the BIOS
update files.
