If the image file is applicable to the PC but is an older BIOS version that currently installed, the user will receive the following warning; however the older image can be restored to the PC if the user selects the Next button. If Next is selected, the BIOS flashing process will begin, and the user is warned not to interrupt the flashing process. Interrupting the flashing process can corrupt the BIOS image. If the BIOS does not update successfully, the business PC would enter flash recovery when rebooted. After the flash process has successfully completed, the PC will be automatically restarted or immediately if the user selects Restart before the timer expires. The user can select Cancel to avoid the restart, but this is not recommended since the updated BIOS image will not be in effect until the PC reboots. 9

If the image file is applicable to the PC but is an older BIOS version that currently installed,
the user will receive the following warning; however the older image can be restored to the
PC if the user selects the Next button.
If Next is selected, the BIOS flashing process will begin, and the user is warned not to
interrupt the flashing process. Interrupting the flashing process can corrupt the BIOS image.
If the BIOS does not update successfully, the business PC would enter flash recovery when
rebooted.
After the flash process has successfully completed, the PC will be automatically restarted or
immediately if the user selects Restart before the timer expires.
The user can select Cancel to
avoid the restart, but this is not recommended since the updated BIOS image will not be in
effect until the PC reboots.
