2.3.5 System BIOS Upgrade Procedure
The notebook supports EPROM Flash BIOS that allows you to easily update the system BIOS
using the Phoenix BIOS Flash utility program called
“
PHLASH.COM
”
. This program runs
under MS-DOS and requires the system not to load high memory like
HIMEM.SYS
. It also
needs the
“
PLATFORM.BIN
”
file in order to activate.
Follow the steps below on how to update the system BIOS:
1.
Prepare a clean bootable diskette without loading the HIMEM.SYS. Copy the files
PHLASH.COM
and
PLATFORM.BIN
into the diskette along with the BIOS ROM file.
2.
Restart the computer and boot from the diskette. At the DOS prompt, type the command
“
PHLASH <
BIOSfile
.ROM>
”
to activate Flash BIOS programming utility. The
computer will then start to update the system BIOS inside the notebook.
3.
After programming is complete, the system will prompt you to press any key to shutdown
the computer. The BIOS version is displayed inside the BIOS Setup Main menu. Press
<F2> after power on to run CMOS Setup program.
BIOS Version : 1.0A-0716-0724

It is very important not to power off the system whenever the FLASH BIOS
program is running. Otherwise, the system may not be able to power on and you
need to replace the BIOS EPROM chip from another working notebook.

Always plug in the AC adapter when updating the BIOS.
