layer of software that translates instructions from other layers of software into electrical signals that the computer hardware can understand. You can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to view and change the configuration and setup of your computer. Your computer system board has a module called electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM, also referred to as flash memory). You can easily update POST, BIOS, and the Configuration/Setup Utility program by starting your computer using a flash update diskette or by using the Remote Administration feature, if it is enabled. See "Setting Remote Administration" on page 34 for more information. IBM might make changes and enhancements to the system programs. When updates are released, they are available as downloadable files on the World Wide Web (see "Chapter 7. Getting help, service, and information" on page 99). Instructions for using the system programs updates are available in a README file included in the update files. To update system programs (flash the EEPROM): 1. Insert a system programs update (flash) diskette into the diskette drive (drive A) in your computer. System programs updates are available at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ on the World Wide Web. 2. Turn on the computer. If it is on already, you must turn it off and back on again. The update begins. Using network management tools This section describes features that a network administrator or file server can use to remotely manage and control your computer. For more information about system management, see Understanding Your Personal Computer (available at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ on the World Wide Web). IBM Universal Manageability tools streamline and automate PC systems management and support tasks, such as asset deployment and tracking. These leading-edge PC tools are available for IBM Personal Computers at no additional charge, helping to reduce total cost of ownership of your networked PCs and allowing you to focus vital company resources on essential business activities.
