BIOS Flash Utility The BIOS flash memory update is required for the following conditions: q New versions of system programs q New features or options q Restore a BIOS when it becomes corrupted. Use the Phlash utility to update the system BIOS flash ROM. NOTE: If you do not have a crisis recovery diskette at hand, then you should create a Crisis Recovery Diskette before you use the Phlash utility. NOTE: Do not install memory-related drivers (XMS, EMS, DPMI) when you use the Phlash. NOTE: Please use the AC adaptor power supply when you run the Phlash utility. If the battery pack does not contain enough power to finish BIOS flash, you may not boot the system because the BIOS is not completely loaded. Fellow the steps below to run the Phlash. 1. Prepare a bootable diskette. 2. Copy the flash utilities and BIOS code to the bootable diskette. 3. Then boot the system from the bootable diskette. Type "Phlash16 ****.rom" (if XMS is present, then add parameter " /x" in the end). 4. BIOS flash will be auto-execution, then power off system. 5. Remove diskette and power on system. Chapter 2 59
