3. Updating BIOS
====================
The flash utility (load.exe) is used to update controller BIOS.
load.exe must run under pure DOS environment. It cannot run in a DOS box
on Windows system. You should boot from a DOS floppy without any device
drivers.
The following command line is used to launch the flash utility:
load.exe [options] [filename]
Command line options:
/Q Silent mode. The program will not prompt for you to
confirm the flashing process.
/V Verbose mode. The program will show more detailed
information about the flashing process.
/S <bus> Only search adapters on specified PCI bus. <bus>
specifies the PCI bus number (a value from 0 to 255).
/D <device> Only search adapters for specified PCI device number.
<device> specifies the PCI device number (a value from
0 to 31).
/C Configure BIOS parameters before updating.
The Windows flash utility can be used to update controller BIOS under
Windows. It requires the controller driver to be installed first.
