Updating your System BIOS

The BIOS version installed on your system appears on the screen while booting the workstation. The following
procedure describes how to update a workstation to the certified BIOS version required by your application.

NOTE Before attempting to update the system BIOS, make sure the SATA Emulation option is properly set,
otherwise your optical drive is not detected.

To update the BIOS on your workstation:

1 Download the latest version of the DKU from Autodesk and extract the tar file into a temporary directory.

2 Go to the /Utils/BIOS subdirectory of the DKU directory.

In the BIOS directory there is a subdirectory for each platform supported by the current version of your
Visual Effects, Finishing, and Colour Grading application.

3 Go to the directory that corresponds to your hardware platform.
