Installing the BIOS/UEFI Update

1.Insert the media containing the BIOS update software into the terminal.

2.Connect a USB keyboard.

3.Apply power to the terminal. 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 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 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.

5.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)
