BIOS Updating Procedures
Chapter 5:

Introduction

Prerequisites

This chapter discusses the procedures to update the terminal BIOS
using either an internal or external CD-ROM drive. The BIOS update is
distributed on bootable CD-ROM media. The drivers necessary to run
the CD-ROM are temporarily installed during boot.
It is also possible to perform a BIOS update using a network
connection. Refer to the NCR FitClient Software User's Guide for
information about that procedure.
Crisis Recovery
In the event the BIOS becomes corrupt, such as the result of a power
failure during the BIOS Update procedure, you can use the method
discussed later in this chapter in the BIOS Crisis Recovery section to
recover the BIOS.
The following are required on the 7455 to perform a BIOS update using
a CD.
•
Bootable CD-ROM drive (internal or external)
•
Keyboard
•
NCR BIOS and BIOS Update Software
