This screen provides three command options, which you can invoke by typing the corresponding number of the command and pressing key. The following describes each command: 1. Save Current BIOS to File This option allows you to copy the contents of the Flash memory chip into a file in the \FLASH directory. This gives you a backup copy of the original system BIOS in case you need to re-install it. In such cases where the data on the chip get lost or corrupted, you can reprogram the chip using this backup copy. We strongly recommend that you perform this procedure. 2. Update BIOS Main Block from File This option updates the BIOS from a file on the disk. This can either be a new file or a backup file created by the "Save Current BIOS to File" option. This will not update the Boot Block if the Boot Block is different. You will be prompted with the following if advanced features if necessary. Boot Block of New BIOS is different from old one !!!
