4.1.3 CrashFree BIOS feature
The CrashFree BIOS feature allows you to boot the computer from a
floppy disk and update the BIOS in case the original BIOS fails or gets
corrupted.
1. You must have a bootable floppy disk ready before updating the
BIOS.
2. The bootable floppy disk could be the one that you created
following the procedure in section 4.1.2, and should contain the
AFLASH.EXE utility.
3. If the BIOS fails (ROM data or codes are corrupted), a message
appears during POST indicating the failure.
To update the BIOS:
1. Turn on the computer, and when prompted, place the bootable floppy
disk into the floppy drive, so that the computer boots from the floppy
disk.
2. Follow the BIOS update procedure in section “4.1.2 Using AFLASH to
update the BIOS.”
