OPTIONS EXPLANATION
BTOOL /S
This option runs the Setup program without the necessity of rebooting
the system and then pressing “F2”
BTOO L/L This option locks the setup. In this way the access to the Setup
Program is denied.
BTOOL /U This option unlocks the setup. In this way the access to the Setup
Program is re-established.
BTOOL /G FILENAME (*) This option gets the Setup Data from the system and save it in a file
with the name “FILENAME.BIN”.
BTOOL /P FILENAME (*) This option reads the Setup Data from the file named
“FILENAME.BIN” and put it in the system
BTOOL /B FILENAME (*) This option updates the entire BIOS firmware with the version stored
in the file named “FILENAME.BIN”; for example BIOS.BIN, stored on
a floppy.
BTOOL /V FILENAME (*) This option updates only the video BIOS firmware with the new
version stored in the file named “FILENAME.BIN”
BTOOL /U FILENAME (*) This option updates the Emergency BIOS Firmware with the new

The BTOOL program always ends with a module’s hardware reset (pressing
CTRL+ALT+DEL is not enough). It is necessary to switch off and then switch on the
CPU in order that the changes take effect.
EXAMPLE: Update the BIOS
For the BIOS files and for upgrades, visit www.parvus.com . It is very useful to store
the new BIOS version in a floppy disk.
