UPDATING THE BIOS WITH UBIOS
15.1 INTRODUCTION
UBIOS is an utility that allows you to take BIOS files from a disk and update the Flash BIOS
EPROM with them. It also allows the reverse operation - to copy the contents of the Flash
BIOS to files on disk.
The program can be executed in one of two modes:
1. Interactive Mode: In this mode the program is menu-driven. This mode is explained in
section 15.2.
2. Batch Mode: It is also possible to run the program without menus by a command that
specifies the selected options and files with parameters. This mode is explained in
section 15.3.
Both the Interactive Mode and the Batch Mode are available in VT100 mode (Section 15).
The small differences will be explained in the sections noted above.
NOTE
Using UBIOS 2.15 and up, will clear the CMOS Setup in ROM.
Therefore, it is recommended that you take note of your Setup
parameters (especially Hard Disk parameters), so you can reset them
afterwards.
