Flash BIOS recovery - bootable diskette version
for ThinkCentre(R) 8290, 8291, 8292, 8293, 8294, 8295
Version C915KT13A
Installation README


This package updates the basic input/output system (BIOS) on
ThinkCentre 8290, 8291, 8292, 8293, 8294, and 8295 systems.

BIOS is programming that controls low-level hardware operations,
including interactions with diskette drives, hard 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 recovering the BIOS.
