How can I update the BIOS? Do you feel it can fix my problem ? Some servers use undisclosed methods to control the fans. But to do the flashing you could; To do this is relatively easy using two floppies. First create a bootdisk that loads DOS, configures a RAM drive and=20 copies the essential DOS files to RAM, sets %COMSPEC%, %PATH% et al. You = could probably fit a copy of some of the files on there. Second swap floppies with the remaining files and start the flash procedu= re. Although it might not be necessary, i'd probably copy the remaining=20 files to RAM before starting the flash procedure just to be sure that it = isn't corrupted in the obvious ways. --=20 Sten Daniel Soersdal
