BIOS Update
When should a BIOS update b e performed?
Fujitsu Technology Solutions makes new BIOS versions available to ensure compatibility with new
operating systems, new software or new hardware. In addition, new BIOS functions can be integrated.
A B IO S update should also always be performed if there is a problem that cannot
be solved using new drivers or new software.
Where can I obtain B IO S updates?

Detailed information on how to run the BIOS update in DOS is contained
in the "BIOS Setup" manual ("D rivers & Utilities" CD).
