BIOS update
When should a BIOS update be carried out?
Fujitsu Siemens Computers makes new BIOS versions available to ensure compatibility with new oper-
ating systems, new software or new hardware. In addition, new BIOS functions can also be integrated.
A BIOS update should always also be carried out when a problem exists that cannot
be solved with new drivers or new software.
