Overview

This document describes the steps necessary to upgrade to BIOS version a674v1VG1 V3.4B1 121404 for the MS-6741 motherboard.


Identification

This BIOS can be installed on a MS-6741 motherboard.


Installation

The BIOS should be flashed if:

1.  You are updating to a newer BIOS revision.

2.  A technician has told you to flash or re-flash the computer.

Steps to flash or re-flash the computer using a CD burner drive:

1.  Burn the C:\Cabs\a674v1vg1341\a674v1vg1.nrg file to a blank CD, using Nero CD burning software. 

2.  After creating the CD, place the CD in the CD/DVD drive, and then restart the computer.

3.  The BIOS flash process runs automatically.  Do not press any keys or turn off the computer during this process.

4.  When the flash is complete, remove the CD from the CD/DVD drive, and then press the CTRL+ALT+DELETE keys to restart the computer.

5.  The computer restarts.

6.  Press the F2 key to load the default values and continue.

Note: After the BIOS update, the first startup of the computer may not complete.  It may be necessary to turn off the computer by pressing the power button for 5 seconds, and then starting the computer again.

Steps to flash or re-flash the computer using a floppy disk drive or bootable USB flash drive:

1.  Copy all of the BIOS files except a674v1VG1.nrg from the C:\Cabs\a674v1vg1341 folder to a blank floppy disk or a USB flash drive. 

2.  Restart the computer with the floppy disk/USB flash drive plugged in.

3.  The BIOS flash process runs automatically.  Do not press any keys or turn off the computer during this process.

4.  When the flash is complete, remove the floppy disk/USB flash drive from the computer, and then press the CTRL+ALT+DELETE keys on the keyboard.  

5.  The computer restarts.

6.  Press the F2 key to load the default values and continue.


Removal

Because a computer must have a BIOS to operate, there is no removal process.  The BIOS cannot be removed after it has been upgraded.


Troubleshooting

If you have trouble flashing the BIOS, try the process again following the steps listed in the Installation section of this document.  If you are still unable to flash the BIOS, confirm that you are attempting to flash the BIOS on an MS-6741 motherboard.  If this process still fails, contact technical support.


Reason for Update

This is the current released BIOS for the MS-6741 motherboard.
