H132284: BIOS UPDATE DURING SYSBRD REPLACEMENT TEXT: BIOS levels on system board FRUs should be updated to the latest level after system board replacement to ensure the system BIOS features and fixes are at the current level. System board FRU stock BIOS is flashed during manufacture or repair, but because FRU installation may occur some time after this flash the BIOS level on FRU stock may be below the latest available BIOS. BIOS levels can be checked by invoking Diagnostics (Hold down F1 while doing a cold boot.) Then select system board configuration to display the current BIOS level. ______________________ IMPORTANT________________________________ | | | Diskette fixes are customer installable.
