When no updated version is detected, a message is displayed informing you that there is no new BIOS file from the BIOS server.

4.Click Yes if you want to change the boot logo, which is the image appearing on screen during the Power‑On Self-Tests (POST). Otherwise, click No.

5.Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the update process.
