Press the Esc key twice from the main menu to exit the standalone utility. The

9.5 Updating BIOS for an Intel-Based System Containing an EISA
Controller
This section describes how to update the BIOS for your EISA controller in an
Intel-based system. You need to update BIOS in the event that the manufacturer
should need to send you an update to your BIOS information. (For example, if
the BIOS changes between controller boards and you require a new controller
board.)
AXP systems do not require you to update BIOS information.
In addition, you do not need to follow a special BIOS update procedure for a PCI
controller. A PCI controller firmware update includes any necessary BIOS
update.
To update your BIOS for an EISA controller on an Intel-based system, follow
these steps:
1. Insert the standalone configuration utility diskette for Intel Systems into your
floppy drive and boot from that drive.
2. When your systems starts, enter one of the following commands to update
BIOS for a single RAID controller, multiple RAID controllers, or to update
multiple versions of the BIOS to multiple RAID controllers at the same time.
To update a single RAID controller, type:
A:\SWXCR>SWXCRBIO xxxx.xxx
where xxxx.xxx is the BIOS filename, and version of the BIOS that you
want to load, SWXCRBIO.215, for example.
