BIOS update

When should a BIOS update be carried out?

Fujitsu Siemens Computers makes new BIOS versions available to ensure compatibility to new
operating systems, new software or new hardware. In addition, new BIOS functions can also be
integrated.
A BIOS update should always also be carried out when a problem exists that cannot be solved with
new drivers or new software.

How does a BIOS update work?

1. BIOS update under DOS with BIOS Flash Update bootable floppy disk
► Download the update file from our website to your PC.
► Insert an empty floppy disk (1.44 MB).
► Run the update file (e.g. 2568102.EXE).
► A bootable update floppy disk is created. Leave this floppy disk in the drive.
► Restart the PC.
► Follow the instructions on screen.
2. BIOS update under Windows with DeskFlash utility
A BIOS update can also be carried out directly under Windows with the DeskFlash utility. DeskFlash
is contained on the "Drivers & Utilites" CD (under DeskUpdate).
