When to upgrade the BIOS

Risk of data loss

Perform this procedure only if specifically instructed to do so by your Nortel representative.

The CallPilot server is shipped to you with the required minimum BIOS and system board firmware versions. Upgrade the BIOS and system board firmware only if your Nortel representative deems this necessary to solve a system problem.

When to reconfigure the BIOS

The initial BIOS configuration is performed at the factory before the CallPilot server is shipped to you. Reconfigure the BIOS only after you recover from a BIOS or CMOS failure.
