LV-67C Specifics

Flashing the LV67-G bios

The LV67-G does not require an external video card. The on motherboard VGA header works and can be used to flash the bios. This version of the bios will also boot from a USB flash disk if it is attached by default.

  1. Attach VGA cables, keyboard, etc..
  2. Insert usb flash disk containing BIOS image.
    • See this page for instructions on how to make a flash disk
    • add the included bin file and the FPT flashing tool to this flash disk (the full file set in on the archive)
  3. Power on the node and let it boot into FreeDos. It may ask you to set the date and time, these can be safely ignored.
  4. At the C:\> prompt run:
    C:/>FPT -F 67G13.BIN 
    
    Note the flashing process may take a while.
  5. Once Flashing is done, reboot the node and enter the bios by hitting the delete key. You should press repeatedly immediately after the power reset because the window in which this bios accepts the del-menu command is very short. If you hit the key within the window the post beep will sound different (2 beeps instead of one).
  6. Once in the menu you can enable the console redirection and set the boot order to try the pxe interfaces first. The options are a little different…
