3.5.2 Updating Firmware in a UVPROM
If you do not have an EB64+ or EB66 motherboard, see Section 3.5.1 for
directions on how to update your computer type’s firmware.
The Windows NT ARC firmware is provided only on the compact disc; a
UVPROM is not provided. To program your own UVPROM, see the Alpha
Motherboards Software Developer’s Kit and Firmware Update Read Me First.
Replacing the UVPROM
To update the firmware on a motherboard after you have programmed your
UVPROM, follow this procedure:
1. Power off the system.
2. Locate and, noting the correct orientation of the ROM, remove one of the
UVPROMs from the motherboard.
3. Using the correct orientation, insert the new Windows NT ARC firmware
UVPROM.
4. Select the new Windows NT ARC firmware UVPROM device with the
UVPROM select jumper, as described in the motherboard’s user’s guide.
5. Power on the system.
3.6 Disk Partition Utility
The disk partition utility, which first appears in Windows NT ARC firmware
Version 4.48, is used to partition your hard drive and to format a partition with
a FAT file system. The disk partition utility also displays information about the
drive, such as the manufacturer and model ID strings and the ARC path. See
Section 3.4.5 for instructions on how to start the disk partition utility.
