SPI/BIOS Updating Procedures
1.Insert the USB device containing the SPI/BIOS update software into the terminal.
2. Connect a USB keyboard.
3.Apply power. Validate that the SPI/BIOS configuration setup has the device containing the BIOS media as the first boot device in the Boot Menu or plan on using the [F8] override to force the correct boot device. Select the USB device from the list of boot devices.
4.The terminal boots and displays the SPI/BIOS Update main menu.
There are six options from the main menu to run the update program. Three run automatically and two are interactive. Option 1, the Automatic SPI and BIOS Update executes automatically in 10 seconds unless the up/down arrow is pressed.
Automatic Method
With the Automatic Method you may see a prompt to enter the DMI (Desktop Management Interface), which is the terminal Class/Model/Serial information. This happens if the program detects invalid DMI information in the current BIOS, or if you are replacing the processor board, which has no Class/Model/Serial information in the BIOS. DMI information is mandatory.
Interactive Method
This method permits you to input/replace the Class/Model/Serial information that is stored in the BIOS.
Note: DMI information that is currently stored in the BIOS is displayed during power up. Press [Tab] at the NCR Logo to remove the logo. Press [Pause] to freeze the screen. Press [Esc] to continue.
Make a menu selection and follow the screen prompts (Option 1 is recommended).
1 Update SPI and BIOS - No prompt for Serial/Model/Class unless invalid
(Resets ME/AMT configuration/provisioning data)
2 Update BIOS only - No prompt for Serial/Model/Class unless invalid
(Keeps ME/AMT configuration/provisioning data)
***** Forced Update of Serial/Model/Class Information *****
3 Update DMI only - Serial/Model/Class update ONLY (no BIOS/SPI Update)
(Only one boot - no need for AC Power removal)
4 Update of SPI and BIOS - Always prompts for Serial/Model/Class
(Resets ME/AMT configuration/provisioning data)
5 Update of BIOS only - Always prompts for Serial/Model/Class
(Keeps ME/AMT configuration/provisioning data)
***** For Service Personnel Only *****
6 Update SPI and BIOS - Default Serial/Model/Class. Reset ME/AMT data
Option 1 - Update SPI and BIOS - No prompt for Serial/Model/Class unless invalid
1.Highlight Option 1 and press [ENTER]. (Executes automatically in 10 seconds unless the up/down arrow is pressed.)
2.The Flash Program updates the SPI/BIOS.
3.The Manageability Engine (ME) is programmed and a message is displayed indicating power must be removed before continuing. Press [3] to perform a 20 second AC power removal (automatically executes in 10 seconds if no keys are pressed).
4.Remove the USB device before the system boots.
5.System is ready for operation.
Option 2 - Update BIOS only - No prompt for Serial/Model/Class unless invalid
This option automatically updates the BIOS only.
1.Highlight Option 2 and press [ENTER].
2.The Flash Program updates the BIOS and automatically reboots the terminal.
Option 3 - Update DMI only - Serial/Model/Class update ONLY (No BIOS or SPI Update)
This option lets you enter the DMI information only. The SPI and BIOS are not updated.
1.Highlight Option 3 and press [ENTER].
2.At the prompt press [ENTER] to enter the Class/Model/Serial Number information (DMI). Follow the onscreen format instructions.
Example: 7702-5000-8801[ENTER]
54-19378230[ENTER]
3.Press [1] to confirm the data and to continue.
4.Remove the USB device before the system boots.
5.System is ready for operation.
Option 4 - Update of SPI and BIOS - Always prompts for Serial/Model/Class
This option is similar to Option 1 above except you are prompted for Class/Model/Serial information at the beginning of the program. You also have to select which type of update to run, BIOS or SPI.
1.Highlight Option 4 and press [ENTER].
2.At the prompt press [ENTER] to enter the Class/Model/Serial Number information (DMI). Follow the on-screen format instructions.
Example: 7702-5000-8801[ENTER]
54-19378230[ENTER]
3.Press 1 to confirm the data and to continue.
4.The Flash Program updates the SPI/BIOS and the Manageability Engine (ME) is programmed.
5.A message is displayed indicating power must be removed before continuing. Press [3] to perform a 20 second AC power removal (automatically executes in 2 minutes if no keys are pressed).
6.Remove the USB device before the system boots.
Option 5 - Update of BIOS only - Always prompts for Serial/Model/Class
This option prompts for Class/Model/Serial information at the beginning of the program and then updates the BIOS only.
1.Highlight Option 5 and press [ENTER].
2.At the prompt press [ENTER] to enter the Class/Model/Serial Number information (DMI). Follow the onscreen format instructions.
Example: 7702-5000-8801[ENTER]
54-19378230[ENTER]
3.Press [1] to confirm the data and to continue.
4.The Flash Program updates the SPI/BIOS and automatically reboots the terminal.
Option 6 - Update SPI and BIOS - Default Serial/Model/Class information
This option is for Service Personnel only. It updates the SPI and BIOS but leaves the Class/Model/Serial fields empty (erased). The DMI information is then entered when the board is installed in a terminal.
1.Highlight Option 6 and press [ENTER].
2.The SPI and BIOS are updated and the system reboots (2 times).
3.Remove the USB device before the system boots.
4.System is ready for operation.
