Before Updating
If you are considering updating your BIOS, we strongly suggest that you first
contact your dealer or system assembler. This On-line BIOS Guide contains only
general information about the standard product, and as such, the information
and files provided here may not, in some cases, work with your hardware.
You should be aware that flashing a BIOS is not guaranteed to be successful.
If your system is already running well, then even if there is a new version
of the BIOS available, it may not be the best option to flash the new one. Your
system may experience serious adverse side effects or even lower performance.
If you decide to flash a new BIOS make sure that you have first made a backup
copy of your present BIOS onto a bootable floppy. This way you will most likely
be able flash back to your old setup if problems arise.
