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.
