Installation README


This package updates the basic input/output system (BIOS) on
3000 J110 (type 7393, 7394, 7395, 7396, 7397, 7398), ThinkCentre A55

BIOS is programming that controls low-level hardware operations,
including interactions with diskette drives, hard disk drives,
and the keyboard. The BIOS is stored on a chip. Your computer
uses flash BIOS, which can be updated through a program on a 
flash diskette so that you do not have to replace the BIOS
chip to update the BIOS.

Note: Make note of any settings you have changed in the BIOS
Configuration Utility. These settings may have to be re-entered
after updating the BIOS.
