        3.0   Installation and Setup Instructions

              The procedure to update the POST/BIOS is as follows:

              3.1  Insert the "IBM POST/BIOS Flash Update" media into an external
                   USB drive.

              3.2  Start up or restart your IBM system.

              3.3  The system will boot off of the update media and automatically
                   update the system BIOS.

              3.4  On the first system boot after updating the BIOS, select the Setup 
                   Utility with the F1 key; then, select the "Load Default Settings" 
                   option.  Select the "Save Settings" option, and hit 'y' to save.  
                   Then, select "Exit Setup" to exit the utility, and, finally, accept 
                   the displayed 'Y' option under "Save and exit the setup utility?"  
              
              3.5  If you are updating from a floppy diskette and wish to save your
                   current BIOS to a file, mofify 'autoexec.bat' to include the backup
                   '/bu' parameter.  Current system BIOS will be saved to a file named
                   'BIOS.BAK'.
