1. Insert the "BIOS Flash update CD" into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Start up or restart your IBM Netfinity 4000R server. The system will boot off of the CD and present a window which allows you the option to flash various options.
3. Choose 1 - Update POST/BIOS. You will be asked if you would like to move the current POST/BIOS image to the backup ROM location.
4. If you select Y, the current code will be flashed in to the backup bank immediately. You will then be asked if you would like to save the current code to a diskette.
5. If you select Y, you need to have a formatted diskette already available. At this point, the image will be loaded from the diskette, and you will be asked to choose which language you wish to use during POST and in Setup.
6. If you select a choice other than English, the selected language will be merged into the image.
   NOTE: There is also an option to Quit the flash update on this menu.
7. After this completes the system will update the flash ROM with the new code. When this is complete you will be prompted to remove the CD and hit return to reboot the system.
