tor LED as well. The system will then run power-on tests. While the tests are
running, additional messages will appear on the screen. If you do not see
anything within 30 seconds from the time you turn on the power, the system

Support Software
FILELIST.TXT - View this file to see the files included in the support software.
PFLASH.EXE - This is the Flash Memory Writer utility. The Flash Memory Writer
utility updates the BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash
ROM chip on the motherboard. This BIOS file is included with each motherboard,
and may be newer than the BIOS on the motherboard. To determine whether or not
the provided BIOS file is newer than the current motherboard BIOS, compare the
BIOS file name with the last four numbers of the code displayed on the upper left-
hand corner of your screen during bootup. If the number of the BIOS file in the
support diskette is larger, continue with the following section to reprogram the moth-
erboard BIOS. If the number is smaller, skip the Flash Memory Writer section.
NOTE: A binary BIOS file is no longer included with the support software.
Save the motherboard's BIOS file to a floppy diskette as soon as your system is
operational. See "Flash Memory Writer Utility" in this section to “Save Cur-
rent BIOS to File.”
