- FLASH Memory Update Utility Release 3.2
-
- This utility is used to save and update FLASH memory. It is recommended
- that this utility be executed from a bootable MS-DOS diskette that
- contains BIOS recovery files for the target system (i.e. BIOS.REC).
-
- This utility must be executed in a system without memory managers installed.
- If EMM386, QEMM, 386MAX, or Windows is active, then the FLASH update
- is not safe. Remove any memory manager or exit Windows before executing
- the FLASH Memory Update Utility.
-
- You must record your CMOS SETUP parameters before updating the BIOS and set
- the CMOS parameters to default values after the update is complete, then
- re-enter the original values. Erratic operation may result if the SETUP
- parameters are not set to default values. You can set the CMOS parameters
- to default values by entering SETUP and hitting the F5 key. The CMOS
- memory map may change from BIOS version to BIOS version, setting the
- parameters to default values will guarantee the CMOS memory is updated
- correctly.
-
- See the file BIOINSTR.TXT for complete instructions on updating the BIOS.
