Fujitsu Siemens Computers D1931 Mode D'emploi page 17

Use the first PCI slots that have a single PCI IRQ Line (no IRQ sharing). If you must use another PCI
slot with IRQ sharing, check whether the expansion card properly supports IRQ sharing with the
other devices on this PCI IRQ Line. The drivers of all cards and components on this PCI IRQ Line
must also support IRQ sharing.
BIOS update
When should a BIOS update be carried out?
Fujitsu Siemens Computers makes new BIOS versions available to ensure compatibility to new
operating 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.
Where can I obtain BIOS updates?
The BIOS updates are available on the Internet at www.fujitsu-siemens.com/mainboards.
How does a BIOS update work?
You have two ways of doing this:
1. BIOS update under DOS with bootable BIOS update floppy disk - brief description
► Download the update file from out website to your PC.
