Note

BIOS of PCI/EISA servers is located in a Flash ROM on the motherboard. If necessary, it can be updated with a bootable diskette which has the new BIOS (.BIN) file. This file will be named:

M4PE_Txx.BIN for DX2-66 models M5PE_Txx.BIN for Pentium models

Where xx is the BIOS level as it appears when booting.

For more information on how to obtain BIOS updates, please reference Appendix B, ªHardware Compatibility, Device Driver, and Software Patch Informationº on page 199.

Attention! Make sure you have the right file for your system. The process will allow you to install the wrong file. If you do, the server will not reboot successfully; instead, at power on, the screen will be blank and the system will beep twice. The only fix is to replace the motherboard.
