Chapter 5: BIOS Updating Procedures

Introduction

The terminal’s BIOS can be updated using a parallel CD-ROM drive and software available on bootable CD-ROM media. The drivers necessary to run the CD-ROM are temporarily installed during boot. This chapter describes this procedure.

It is also possible to perform a BIOS update using a network connection. Refer to the NCR FitClient Software User's Guide for information about that procedure.
