You will also need to download the FreeDos system files kernel.sys and command.com from

http://www.freedos.org/kernel/.

1. Copy DOS system files kernel.sys and command.com to a specified directory (C:\FreeDOS in this

example).

2. Start the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool and select the USB device that you want to use as a bootable

disk in the Device drop down box.

3. Select FAT in the File system drop down box.

4. Type the disk name in the Volume label field.

5. Check the option Create a DOS startup disk under format options.

6. Specify the directory of the system files (for example, C:\FreeDOS).

7. Click Start to format and create the USB disk.

ATTENTION

We suggest you use a USB drive with under 2 GB in disk space, as larger USB drives may not support FAT file

format and consequently fail to boot.

Step 2: Prepare the Upgrade Tool and BIOS Binary File.

You must use the BIOS upgrade installation file to upgrade the BIOS. You can send your request to Moxa's

V24001X.SXX and the upgrade utility named awdflash.exe.
