Installation Instructions * * * * Please print out these instructions or write them down before * * starting this flash update utility. * * * * BIOS update by DOS utility: There is now one compressed folder * * released with each BIOS (image name 5OJTxxUSA.ZIP), containing the * * BIOS image, DOS flash utility, batch files for auto execution, * * release note and flash instruction. Unpack and copy all files in * * 5OJTxxUSA.ZIP to a DOS bootable memory key. * * * * BIOS update by bootable CD: There is now one CD image file * * released with each BIOS (image name 5OJ9xxUSA.ISO), containing the * * BIOS image, DOS flash utility, release note and flash instruction. * * If you prefer to create a bootable CD to update BIOS, please follow * * the instructions for CDROM. * * * ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** * About Applied Fixes or Features Added * * * * CHANGES.TXT is a file that lists known problems which are corrected * * and/or features added after applying this update to your system. * * If you like, please take the time to read or print that file before * * using this flash program to update your system BIOS. * * * ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** * Basic Installation Instructions * * * * 1. Please make note of any settings you have changed in the BIOS * * Setup utility. They may have to be re-entered after updating * * the BIOS. * * 2. Use the flash update program by putting it in a DOS bootable * * memory key, or creating a CD with the ISO image. Power up the * * system and make sure the device with the flash program is * * selected as a boot device. * * 3. The current BIOS level on the computer is compared to that of * * the flash update. If the levels are the same, or the level on * * the update is older than the ROM, a message is displayed stating * * "BIOS ROM file is older than (or same as) BIOS ROM image. * * Continue anyway? (y/n)", type in 'y'. * * 4. Update may take up to 2 minutes. Do not power off or restart the * * system during this procedure! * * 5. After the flash update is complete, system will automatically * * reboot. Don't forget to remove the flash device or you may be * * got your BIOS re-updated. * * * ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** * 2. Flash Program Options * * * * The default operation of the flash update program is a step by step * * dialogue with the user that presents choices and gathers responses * * from the user about which choices are desired. * * * * In some situations (such as a large enterprise with many systems * * that need updating), it may be desirable to create a flash update * * image that requires no manual intervention to perform an update * * operation. This can be done by modifying the batch file * * (autoexec.bat) calling the flash program with the following * * parameter: * * * * flash2.exe [option1] [option2] ... [optionX] * * * * [OPTIONS] * * /h Show help messages. * * /u Unattended mode. All defaults are assumed (unless * * overridden by other option statements) and all * * prompts are bypassed. Any errors will result in * * program termination without any error indication. * * /b:nnnnnnn Update system serial number (up to 20 characters). * * Only effective under unattended mode. * * /m:nnnnnnn Update machine type and model number (up to 20 * * characters). Only effective under unattended mode. * * /d The flash utility will generate an Universally * * Unique Identifier (UUID), replacing the one that * * is currently in the system. * * /t:nnnnnnnn Update system asset tag number. * * /r Automatic boot after an unattended (/u) flash * * update. * * * * The following example shows how to update system asset tag number * * to "1234567" use command line: * * flash2.exe /t:1234567 * * * * Note: A flash update image using these program options should be * * tested carefully before widespread usage. * * * ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** * 3. Instructions for CDROM * * * * Create a CD with the BIOS package 5OJ9xxUSA.ISO. Power up the * * system and immediately insert the flash CD in the CDROM drive. * * Ensure that you boot from the CDROM. * * * * You can modify the serial number and machine type/model if needed. * * Follow
