Appendix￿G￿ EC/KBC￿Rewrite￿Procedures￿

This￿Appendix￿explains￿how￿to￿rewrite￿the￿EC/KBC￿system￿program￿when￿you￿update￿the￿ EC/KBC￿system.￿

Tools￿

To￿rewrite￿the￿EC/KBC,￿you￿need￿the￿following￿tool:￿

￿￿ BIOS/EC/KBC￿rewriting￿disk￿for￿the￿computer￿

￿

Rewriting￿the￿EC/KBC￿

1.￿ Set￿the￿system￿to￿boot￿mode.￿

2.￿ Turn￿off￿the￿power￿to￿the￿computer.￿

3.￿ Remove￿the￿external￿cable￿and￿PC￿Card.￿

4.￿ Connect￿an￿external￿FDD￿and￿insert￿the￿BIOS/EC/KBC￿rewriting￿disk￿into￿either￿the￿ external￿FDD.￿

5.￿ Turn￿on￿the￿power￿while￿holding￿down￿the￿[F12]￿key.￿￿(Keep￿holding￿down￿the￿key￿ until￿a￿message￿appears￿on￿the￿screen.)￿￿The￿EC/KBC￿rewriting￿starts.￿

6.￿ When￿the￿EC/KBC￿rewrite￿is￿completed,￿the￿system￿is￿automatically￿turned￿off.￿

Note:￿ 1.￿ Rewrite￿the￿EC/KBS￿only￿when￿instructed￿by￿a￿diagnostic￿disk￿release￿ notice.￿

￿2.￿ Connect￿the￿AC￿adapter￿to￿the￿computer￿when￿you￿rewrite￿the￿EC/KBC.￿

￿3.￿ Do￿not￿turn￿off￿the￿power￿while￿you￿are￿rewriting￿the￿EC/KBC.￿If￿the￿ rewrite￿fails,￿it￿might￿be￿impossible￿to￿start￿up￿the￿computer.￿

￿4.￿ If￿you￿fail￿to￿rewrite￿EC/KBC,￿then￿when￿you￿next￿turn￿on￿the￿power,￿a￿

message￿may￿be￿displayed￿that￿the￿contents￿of￿the￿EC/KBC￿have￿been￿

erased.￿￿In￿this￿case,￿insert￿the￿BIOS/EC/KBC￿rewriting￿disk,￿and￿the￿

EC/KBC￿will￿be￿rewritten.￿

￿5.￿ Normally￿it￿takes￿about￿30￿seconds￿to￿rewrite￿the￿EC/KBC.￿￿It￿may￿take￿3￿ minutes￿(maximum),￿depending￿on￿the￿conditions￿of￿the￿computer￿or￿ICs.￿ The￿computer￿is￿not￿hung￿up.￿￿Allow￿sufficient￿time.￿￿Never￿reboot￿or￿turn￿ off￿the￿power￿to￿the￿computer￿before￿the￿rewriting￿is￿completed.￿
