Installation

The BIOS should be flashed if:

2.  A technician has told you to flash or re-flash the computer.


Steps to flash or re-flash the computer using a CD burner drive:

1.  The MS-7207.nrg file is a CD image. Double click the MS-7207.nrg file in the C:\Cabs\MS-7207BIOS folder to launch Nero CD burning software and create the bootable CD. 

2.  After creating the CD, place the CD in the CD/DVD drive, and then restart the computer.

3.  At the menu press 1 to select Flash BIOS.

4.  The BIOS flash process runs automatically.  Do not press any keys or turn off the computer during this process.

5.  When the flash is complete, an A:\> prompt will appear.  Restart the computer.

6.  Press the F2 key to enter the CMOS Setup Utility.

7.  In the CMOS Setup Utility, highlight Load Optimized Defaults, and then press ENTER.

8.  Select OK and press ENTER to select Load Optimized Defaults.

Steps to flash or re-flash the computer using a floppy disk drive or bootable USB flash drive:

1.  Copy all of the files except MS-7207.nrg and readme.txt from the C:\Cabs\MS-7207BIOS folder to a blank floppy disk or a USB flash drive. 

2.  Restart the computer with the floppy disk/USB flash drive plugged in.

Troubleshooting

If you have trouble flashing the BIOS, try the process again following the steps listed in the Installation section of this document.  If you are still unable to flash the BIOS, verify that you are actually attempting to flash the BIOS on an MS-7207 motherboard.  If this process still fails, contact technical support.
