Updating the system BIOS will reset CMOS to motherboard factory default
values. In other words, all CMOS settings will be cleared. It is highly
recommended that you write down, print, or otherwise back-up your CMOS
settings before you install this BIOS. so that you can restore your custom
CMOS settings after you install this BIOS.
The boot menu on the BIOS installation diskette offers options to set CMOS
to the Toshiba default settings for either Win9x, or WinNT/2K. Toshiba
recommends that you use the provided tools to set CMOS to Toshiba defaults
after you install this BIOS.
Toshiba also recommends that you jumper JP5 before installing this BIOS, and
un-jumper JP5 after you install this BIOS.
******************** BIOS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS *************************
*****************************************************************************
This release of the electronic distribution BIOS utilizes a self-extracting
ZIP file that, when run under Windows or Win-OS2, creates a bootable BIOS
installation diskette.
Since you're reading this, you were obviously able to extract the downloaded
file. If you also created the BIOS installation diskette as a part of the
extraction process, you're ready to follow the installation instructions
below.
If you didn't create the installation diskette during the extraction phase,
or if you extracted the downloaded file with WinZip or PKUnZip, you can
create the installation diskette by executing the INSTINFO.BAT program from
the DOS command prompt.
Install this BIOS using the following steps:
WINDOWS 3.x:
o Close all open programs
o From Program Manager, click on File/Exit Windows
Windows exits to a MS-DOS command prompt
o Insert the BIOS installation diskette into your diskette drive (A:)
o Press Ctrl-Alt-Del (press and hold the <Ctrl> and <Alt> keys and press
the <Del> key) to restart the system
OTHER OPERATING SYSTEMS
o Close all open programs
o Shut down the operating system
o Insert the BIOS installation diskette into your diskette drive (A:)
o Restart the computer by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del or turning the computer
OFF then on again
The computer will boot MS-DOS from the BIOS installation diskette, display
some instructions and wait for you to initiate the Flash BIOS installation
routine.
When the BIOS installation is complete, eject the diskette from drive A: and
turn the computer OFF then ON, or press the reset button to restart your
computer.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THIS RELEASE
---------------------------------------------
If you are unable to use the Windows self-extractor, the self-extracting
ZIP archive can be extracted by executing it from a DOS prompt or it can be
extracted using PKUNZIP 2.04G or an equivalent UnZIP utility. A DOS batch
file, INSTINFO.BAT is provided in the ZIP archive which will create the BIOS
installation diskette. If all else fails, you can execute the
self-extracting diskette image manually. This file is named 1352D10.EXE, and
needs a parameter of A: (1352D10.EXE A:) to successfully create the diskette in
drive A:
The self-extracting diskette image, 1352D10.EXE, will run under MS-DOS or a
command prompt under Windows 9x, Me, 2000, NT, or OS/2. PLEASE NOTE that long
directory names in the path where the self-extracting image file is stored
under Windows 9x or NT/2K will cause the self-extracting image to abort. Long
directory names are supported under OS/2.
