Upgrading the BIOS

The upgrade utility allows you to upgrade the BIOS in the flash 
memory. To prepare to upgrade the BIOS, you need to record the 
current BIOS settings and download the BIOS image file to a temporary 
folder on your hard drive or a USB flash memory device. 

Recording the current BIOS settings

1

Run BIOS setup. See “Entering BIOS setup” on page 96.

2

Write down the current settings in the BIOS setup utility. 

Downloading the BIOS image file

Download the image file to a temporary folder on your hard drive or a 
USB flash memory device. 

Note: Review the instructions and release notes that are provided 
in the Readme file distributed with the BIOS image file before 
attempting a BIOS upgrade. The release notes contain critical 
information regarding jumper settings, specific fixes, or other 
information to complete the upgrade. 

To upgrade the BIOS:

Follow the instructions in the Readme file that came with the BIOS 
upgrade. When the update completes, remove the bootable media 
from which you performed the upgrade. 

Note: Do not power down the system during the BIOS update 
process. The system will reset automatically when the BIOS update 
process is completed. You may encounter a CMOS checksum error 
or other problem after reboot. It this happens, shut down the 
system and boot it again. CMOS checksum errors require that you 
enter Setup, check your settings, save your settings, and exit 
Setup.
