Updating the SPI/BIOS Using the Bootable USB Memory Key

1.Insert the USB device containing the SPI/BIOS update software into the terminal.

2. Connect a USB keyboard to the terminal.

3.Power on the terminal.

4.Validate that the BIOS configuration setup has the USB Key as the first boot device in the Boot menu or plan on using the [F8] BBS menu to force the USB key to be booted.

5.Reboot the system. Use the [F8] key to force booting from the USB key. The terminal performs a FreeDOS boot from the USB key.

6.At the displayed menu, select Option 1 to update the complete SPI and preserve DMI (valid or invalid). Press [ENTER].

7.At the prompt, press [ENTER] to enter the class/model, serial number, and other information requested by the update process. Follow the on-screen format instructions.

Example:  7613-1215-8801 [ENTER]

54-19378230 [ENTER]

8.After the components are updated, a message is displayed indicating a reboot is needed. Press [3] to reboot the terminal (automatically executes in 2 minutes if no keys are pressed).

9.Remove the USB device before the system boots.

Note:  After the update is completed and the terminal is rebooted, the terminal may reboot additional times as it powers up. This is normal and expected behavior due to the nature of the features of the BIOS/SPI.
