Caution

Observe the following when performing a BIOS recovery:

•Make sure the battery pack is installed to the system and that the computer is connected to a UPS unit during the BIOS recovery and BIOS flash procedures.

•The BIOS crisis recovery disk should be prepared in a computer running the Windows XP or Windows Vista OS.

3Decompress the Crisis Package Source.

4Select WINCRIS.exe and then select Run as administrator.

5Keep the default settings and then click Start button.

6When the pop-up warning dialog box appears, click OK to create the crisis disk.

7Click No if you do not want to create another crisis disk.

8Eject and reconnect the USB removable storage device, and make sure it contains the BIOS.wph, MINIDOS.sys, and PHLASH16.exe files.
