CD Reader If the ML910 notebook does not already have its own Combo or Dual drive installed, you can either temporarily install one in its media bay or use an external drive connected through one of the notebook’s USB2 ports.

High-Speed Internet Access Since the upgrade package is very large (>60MB) we recommend it be downloaded over a high-speed network.

Experience in Performing Upgrade Procedures These instructions are written with the understanding that the person performing the upgrade is already familiar with the terms and similar computer support procedures, and is able to adapt to variations that may be encountered, due to customer-applied configurations, policies, etc.

Caution

It is critically important that the EC BIOS procedure be performed with the utmost care. Among other precautions, make sure the ML910 is securely plugged into a reliable AC power source. If this FLASH procedure should be interrupted and fail, there is no “undo” or recovery procedure. The ML910 would need to be returned to Motorola’s Service Depot for repair.

Support If you are unsure of any step in this procedure or otherwise need Motorola support, please call the Motorola System Support Center (SSC) at 1-800221-7144. You may key in 2, 2 and 1 to bypass the greeting and be directed to the ML910 support team.

1ISO (International Organization for Standardization) refers to a standardized file format (.iso) used for optical discs.

2USB (Universal Serial Bus) refers to the standard serial interface receptacles found on most newer computers. The ML910 notebook includes three USB ports.
