        3.0   Installation and Setup Instructions

              The procedure to update the POST/BIOS is as follows:

              3.1  Insert the "IBM Intellistation M-20 POST/BIOS
                   Flash Update" media.

              3.2  Start up or restart your IBM system.

              3.3  Boot the system off of the update media.

              3.4  If updating from a diskette, you will then be asked if you 
                   would like to save the current code to a diskette.  If you 
                   select 'Y', you need to name the file to be saved. The file 
                   will be saved on the diskette. If you select 'N', the 
                   utility will continue to the next step.

              3.5  At this point, you will be asked if you would like to continue the
                   POST/BIOS flash update. If you select 'Y', the system will update
                   the flash ROM with the new code.  When this is complete you will be
                   prompted to remove the media and hit 'F1' to reboot the system.
	
	      3.6  On the first system boot, after updating the BIOS, select the Setup Utility 
		   with the F1 key; then, select the "Load Default Settings" option.
		   Select the "Save Settings" option, and hit 'y' to save.  Then, select
                   "Exit Setup" to exit the utility, and, finally, accept the displayed
                   'Y' option under "Save and exit the setup utility?"
