Installation Instructions for Micro Firmware BIOS Upgrade Updates
=================================================================

NOTE: Use of these files is governed by the License Agreement
contained in the file LICENSE.TXT, included with this
distribution.  

This BIOS Update file will update prior revisions of Micro
Firmware's M5HS15 BIOS Upgrade to M5HS15 version 4.05.14.

In order to install this update, the M5HS15 BIOS must
already be resident on your PC. You can confirm this by booting
your PC and watching for the Micro Firmware BIOS part number which
will appear on the boot screen. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THIS
UPDATE IF YOU DO NOT SEE THE "M5HS15" PART NUMBER ON THE BOOT SCREEN.

We also recommend that you obtain a copy of the latest system-
specific supplemental manual, which is available on our Web site
in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. You can use Acrobat reader 3.0 or
later to view and print this document. The documentation is on the
same page as the update files, at this URL:

BEFORE INSTALLATION
===================

Run Setup, and make a note of your existing configuration.  Pay
particular attention to hard drive settings and the settings for
the onboard serial and parallel ports. Most settings are retained,
but checking your existing configuration is a good precaution in the
unlikely event that the flash installation is interrupted for any
reason.

Be sure that your data is backed up. This is a normal, everyday rule
of thumb that everyone should adhere to. Installing the new BIOS
revision in and of itself will not affect the data on your hard
drive(s) - however, it is especially important to have a back up of
any valuable data any time you make any changes to your PC
configuration.

You will need to have two blank or spare diskettes that will work in
your A: (first) floppy drive. One diskette will be used to make a
bootable floppy disk, the other diskette will be used to make a
"recovery" disk containing the existing BIOS revision. The recovery
disk must be the appropriate high-density type for the A: drive.
It may be wither a 5.25-inch or a 3.5-inch disk. Most systems are
configured with a 3.5-inch drive as the A: drive.

Make a bootable floppy disk by inserting a new diskette in
your A: drive, and entering the command:

   FORMAT A: /S

(Windows 95 users should first bring up an MS-DOS window by
selecting START, then PROGRAMS, then MS-DOS PROMPT.)

Once the disk is formatted, copy the files from this distribution
to the newly-created boot disk. You are now ready to install the
BIOS update.


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
=========================

1. Boot from boot disk.

2. Type INSTALL [ENTER] to run the Flash BIOS installation program.
   This assumes that you copied the files from the UPDATE downloaded
   from our web site onto this diskette as described above. Otherwise,
   insert the diskette that these files are on or change to the
   directory where they are located before typing INSTALL.

3. The first thing the Installation program will do is examine your
   system to determine the current system settings. This allows the
   installation program to preserve many system setup options under
   the new BIOS. This will take a few moments.

4. Then the installation program will load the BIOS image from disk
   into RAM. A window will appear showing the progress. This should
   take just a few seconds.

5. Next, the installation program will prompt you to enter a blank or
   unused high-density diskette in the A: drive to create the recovery
   disk. The disk will need to be formatted, and any data on the disk
   will be overwritten.

  NOTE: Be sure to keep the original recovery disk that was made when
        you first upgraded from the original manufacturer's BIOS. Use
        a new diskette when making the recovery disk for this
        installation. Do not reuse or otherwise write-over your
        original recovery disk.

6. Press [ENTER] once the blank diskette for the recovery disk has
   been installed. The original BIOS image will then be written to
   the diskette. During this process, the disk tracks are reformatted
   and double verified. If the Installation program detects any
   errors, it will prompt you to start over with a new diskette.

7. Once completed, the Installation program will prompt you to remove
   the  recovery disk. Label the recovery disk, then store it in a
   safe place.

  *** ENSURE THAT THE RECOVERY DISK HAS BEEN
        REMOVED FROM THE DISK DRIVE BEFORE PROCEEDING ***

8. When you press a key to continue, the Flash ROM will be
   reprogrammed with the new BIOS. Once the programming is complete,
   the system will reboot with your new BIOS installed.

9. You may want to run Setup and confirm your settings. You may also
   want to autoconfigure your hard drives again so that settings such
   as LBA mode and multi-sector transfers will be reset to their
   proper settings. Refer to the system-specific supplemental manual
   for more details.
