The Softpaq contains utilities for restoring or updating the system BIOS. Included in the Softpaq are
several methods for changing or updating the BIOS version on your computer. The tools and
appropriate BIOS images are contained in the following Softpaq directories:
●
DOS Flash – DOS utility that can be used locally or with a Preboot eXecution Environment
(PXE) management application to update the system BIOS.
●
WFlash – Windows-based utility used to locally update the system BIOS on individual PCs
through the Windows environment.
●
CEFlash – CE.net-based utility to locally update the system BIOS on individual PCs through the
CE.net environment.
●
LFlash – Linux-based utility to locally update the system BIOS on individual PCs through the
Linux environment.
To determine the BIOS family, version, and date on the thin client, press F10 during system power-on
to run the F10 Setup utility, then select System Information.
To update the system BIOS, complete the following instructions:
1. Download the Softpaq to a directory on your hard drive. The downloaded file is a self-extracting
executable.
2. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Copy the appropriate utility to a diskette or USB flash drive to transfer to the thin client.
