TITLE: ATI Fire GL X1/Z1 Video BIOS and EFI Flash Utility

VERSION: 1.13 Rev A
DESCRIPTION:
This contains the Video BIOS and EFI Flash Utility for ATI Fire GL X1 video and Fire GL Z1
video in the workstation models below. This version corrects an issue that causes 
a 15- to 20-second blank out (monitor losing synch) and associated boot delay between the 
Windows XP color splash screen and the Desktop login.  This SoftPaq contains an EFI bootable
ISO image with the supported video BIOS, EFI flash utility, and .nsh batch script.

HOW TO USE: 

1. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive.  The file downloaded is a zip 
compressed file that will extract to a 25MB ISO image that can be burned on a CD and 
booted in EFI.

2. Burn the extracted ISO image onto a CD using a CD burner.

3. Insert the EFI bootable CD you just burned in the previous step into the ROM drive of 
the supported workstation.

4. Boot to the EFI shell and change directory to the CDROM filesystem (Usually the 
last 'fs#:' - for example, 'fs2:' - on zx2000 or 'fs0:' on the zx6000).

5. If you type the command 'dir' you should see two script files called 'flashx1.nsh' 
and 'flashz1.nsh'.  Otherwise, try switching to another drive until you locate them.

6. Once you locate the filesystem with the script files, go ahead and run the correct 
one for your particular card ('flashx1.nsh' for the Fire GL X1 OR 'flashz1.nsh' for the 
Fire GL Z1) by typing the script name and <Enter>.

7. Once the video BIOS update is complete, reboot the system (you can do a soft reboot 
by typing the command 'reset').
