TITLE: Remote ROM Flash Utilities for Evo D310/D320/D510 and W4000 SFF DDR (686O2 ROM)

VERSION: 3.18
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 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.

This 686O2 BIOS version is compatible with all Evo D310, D320, D510, and W4000 SFF DDR.  
For D310, D320, and W4000 SFF DDR models, this release is being implemented in the factory 
and will be shipped on new computers. For D510 models, this update will not be 
implemented in the factory and is not a new "Stable & Consistent" BIOS. This release is
made available on the web only, as a maintenance release for D510 customers that may be 
interested in the fixes or enhancements made available in this version.

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.
