: BIOS Updating Procedures
Introduction
This chapter discusses procedures how to update the terminal BIOS by
using the parallel CD-ROM drive. The software is distributed on
bootable CD-ROM media. The drivers that are necessary to run the
CD-ROM are temporarily installed during boot.
It is also possible to perform a BIOS update using a network
connection. Refer to the NCR FitClient Software User’s Guide for
information about that procedure.
Crisis Recovery
In the event the BIOS becomes corrupt, such as the result of a power
failure during the BIOS Update procedure, you can use the method
discussed later in this chapter in the BIOS Crisis Recovery section to
recover the BIOS.
