2.4.3 Updating the Flash ROM from the Windows NT ARC Firmware
The firmware update utility is used to update the firmware in a flash ROM on the
AlphaPC 164, EB164, AlphaPC 64, and EB66+. Depending on the version of
firmware that you have in your motherboard, this utility can be invoked from a
diskette or from a compact disc.
Note: If your motherboard has a version of firmware prior to Version 4.42, you
must use a diskette to invoke the firmware update utility. If your
motherboard has a firmware version of 4.42 or higher, you may invoke
the firmware update utility from either a diskette or a compact disc.
The firmware update utility is provided only on a compact disc; a diskette is not
provided. If a firmware update diskette is required, see the Alpha Motherboards
Software Developer’s Kit and Firmware Update Read Me First for information about
how to create a firmware update diskette.
