BIOS UPDATE

Hi all,

A few days ago, i installed a "new" Mother Board replacing the original one. (http://en.community.dell.com/owners-club/alienware/f/3746/p/19486032/20303052.aspx#20303052) The new one is an original alienware mobo purchased from USA. Since i've found an old bios in my "new" mother board, i think it's an X24 BIOS, i'm wondering if i can directly update up to BIOS A11 whitout any issue.

Thx all.

    Hi Legolas_,

    Yes you can update the BIOS version to A11.

    Click on the following link to update BIOS on the computer:

    http://dell.to/Worr2s

    • During BIOS update verify that the computer is connected to a Power supply.
    • Disconnect any third party peripherals connected to the computer before performing BIOS update.
    • Do not turn off the computer during the BIOS update.
    • Do not restart the computer during the BIOS update.

    Note: Plug your computer to a good, working UPS before you update the BIOS. If you experience a loss of AC power or a significant voltage sag/spike during the BIOS flash, you will either have to buy a new BIOS chip or buy a new motherboard.

    Awaiting your response!
