Upgrading the BIOS

This section describes how to upgrade the BIOS. However, note that an improper BIOS update may damage the

mainboard, leaving the computer unable to boot. We strongly recommend that you contact Moxa’s technical

support staff to obtain the necessary tools and the most current advice before attempting to upgrade the BIOS

on any Moxa devices.

Step 1: Create a Bootable USB Storage Drive

Before upgrading the BIOS, you must first create a bootable USB storage drive for system upgrade.

You may use any software that to create a bootable USB drive. We use Rufus as an example in this section.

1. Start Rufus and select the USB device from the

Device drop-down list.

2. Select MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI

computers to boot from legacy BIOS or UEFI.

3. Select FAT (Default) from the File system

drop-down list.

4. Select 16 kilobytes (Default) from the Cluster size

drop-down list.

5. Enter a drive name in the New volume label field.

6. Check Quick format, Create a bootable disk using

FreeDOS, and Create extended label and icon

files.

7. Click Start to format and create the bootable USB

drive.

ATTENTION

recommend that you use a USB drive with less than 2 GB of storage capacity. A USB drive with bigger

storage capacity

may not support FAT file format and, consequently, may fail to boot.
