TITLE: ROM Image for Evo N600c (686DF) Remote ROM Flash

VERSION: 2001.09.19 Rev A
DESCRIPTION:
This SoftPaq creates files that contain a binary image for the System ROM for
the Evo models listed below with a 686DF Family ROM. This SoftPaq is used to
flash the System ROM on target PCs on a network, and it requires System
Software Manager (SSM) or Remote Management Setup. The ROM Family and ROM date
can be determined by running the Setup Utility by pressing F10 on the target
computer during system power on of the computer, and viewing File/System
Information. 

IMPORTANT: Users with BIOS version 10/13/01 or earlier ROM must
update their ROM/BIOS to this version (10/17/01 ) before upgrading to the later versions.
