TITLE: Remote ROM Flash Utilities for Evo D310/D320 and W4000 SFF DDR (686O2 ROM)

VERSION: 3.16 Rev A
DESCRIPTION:
This SoftPaq creates a set of utility files that can be used with a remote 
configuration tool such as Altiris eXpress to update or restore the System ROM 
in the Evo Models with a 686O2 Family ROM.  It also includes the ROM Image.

The standard ROMPaq will not work for updating a PC remotely over a network.

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.  This information can be saved into a text 
file by selecting File/Save to Diskette.

 - Updates Intel Video BIOS to version 2882.

FIXES:
 - Corrects possible system lockup and possible BIOS integrity problem on systems 
   with 3.06-GHz processors when using Windows-based flash tools, CPQFlash or SSM, 
   when Hyper-Threading is enabled. By default, Hyper-Threading is disabled in F10 Setup.  
   Systems with Hyper-Threading disabled, or processors slower the 3.06-GHz, will not see 
   this issue.

a self-extracting executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

2.  Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions.

downloaded in step 1.
