Note If you are using this computer outside the U.S. or Canada,
please contact a local NEC office or dealer in your country.
Preparing the BIOS Update Diskette
Before using the BIOS update diskette, you must make the diskette
BIOS flash ready. Refer to the readme.txt file on the diskette before
using the diskette.
Follow these instructions to prepare the BIOS Update Diskette.
Note Preparing the BIOS Update Diskette makes the diskette
bootable. This procedure requires a system that has the MS-DOS
®
operating system available. Microsoft Windows XP does not have an
MS-DOS operation. If a bootable disk is required, contact Support
Services at NEC Solutions America (see Chapter 9).
1. Scan your hard drive for any computer viruses.
2. Unlock the write protect notch on the diskette, if necessary.
3. Connect the USB diskette drive and insert the diskette into the
diskette drive.
4. Type a:\install (where a: is the diskette drive) at the DOS prompt
and follow the on-screen instructions.
Install.bat copies the DOS system files from your hard drive onto
the BIOS Update Diskette to make it BIOS flash ready.
The system prompts you when the process is complete.
5. Scan the BIOS Update Diskette for computer viruses.
The diskette is ready for use.
