Using the BIOS
Update Utility
The BIOS Update Utility (BUU) allows you to update the
ROM BIOS version of your system, should it ever become
necessary. This feature allows the ROM BIOS chip in your
system to be “flashed” with a new BIOS code through soft-
ware, rather than requiring you to manually replace the chip.
To perform a BIOS update, you need a BIOS Update
Diskette (BUD). The BUD, which contains the latest
version of the BIOS code, can be obtained through NEC
Technologies, Inc. or through the NEC Bulletin Board
System (BBS)
*
. You need to use a modem to download the
utility from the NEC BBS.
NOTE: It takes about 25 minutes to download the
BIOS Update Utility from the NEC BBS. If you pre-
fer, you can request a BIOS Update Diskette by
mail from NEC Technologies, Inc. NEC will ship you
the diskette with one business day turnaround from
the time your request is received. Call NEC Techni-
cal Support at 1-800-632-4525.
To download the BUU to a diskette, see “Receiving the
BUU” later in this appendix.
