Follow this procedure to update Plug and Play system BIOS ver­
sion 0103 or later;
1. Back up your existing system BIOS by using the "Save Current
BIOS To File" command. Type "1" and press "Enter" to execute
the command. A second screen will appear.
Type the BIOS file name, e.g. SS5I0103.AWD, press "Enter" and
the program will write a file containing the current BIOS to the
directory you are running FMW from.
2. Install the new BIOS using the "Update BIOS Main Block From
File" command. Type a "2" and press "Enter".
When you type this command a second screen will pop up
instructing you to type in the name of the new BIOS file. Type
in the whole file name, e.g. SS5I0104.AWD and press the "En­
ter" key to confirm that you want to program the BIOS. The
utility will then install the new BIOS file.
DO NOT TURN OFF THE SYSTEM IF THERE IS A PROBLEM!
If you have a problem installing the new BIOS file, choose com­
mand "2" again and try again. If you can not successfully pro­
gram the new BIOS file for whatever reason, press "2" again
and re-install your original BIOS from the backup file you cre­
ated in Step 1 above.
3. Once you have successfully installed a new BIOS, exit FMW
and turn your system OFF. Set jumper JP16 to the Boot Block
Protect setting and turn the system ON again. The system
should come on using the new BIOS.
Warning: If you do not successfully install a complete BIOS file,
your system may not be able to boot. If this happens it will require
service by your system vendor. Follow the requirements and instruc­
tions in this section precisely to avoid this inconvenience.
