I believe that the jumper is J32, located just above the floppy device
cable connector. You should only need this jumper if the BIOS that
you're installing also updates the boot block. Look on the MLB for
information on the jumper.

| 2930.1 | Instructions are on the diskette | PCBUOA::LIBKIND | Sam Libkind - PC Support Engineering 276-9465 | Tue Feb 25 1997 09:40 | 42 |
Boot your system with the diskette created from the BIOS upgarde file
The menu on the screen will give you choices
� 1. Make a Crisis Recovery Diskette
� �
� 2. Flash Upgrade the System BIOS �
� �
� 3. Display the CRD README �
� �
� 4. Print the CRD README to a printer on LPT1
Choice 3. will display and 4. will print the following:
�
�
� If the Flash upgrade fails, open the system and install
�
� jumper J10, located near the memory simms. Insert the
�
� CRISIS RECOVERY DISK (CRD) and REBOOT.
�
� Note: THE SYSTEM WILL NOT DISPLAY VIDEO.
�
� After about a minute, approximately thirty beeps will sound,
�
� followed by a short pause, then approximately thirty more beeps. �
� After this sequence, three more beeps will sound. At this point, �
� power down the system and remove jumper J10 and the CRD.
�
� Power up the system. The system should now be restored to the
�
� system bios that was stored on the CRD. If it is not, repeat this �
� process. If the system fails to restore again, call customer
�
� support.
�
�
�
That's all you need to know.

Thanks Sam, Got the new BIOS Installed. You may already know but this
fixed a severe performance problem I had with my PC (only applies to
Windows95 configs above 8MB)
