If the system BIOS doesn't possess the flash option and does not support the new microprocessor, it will be necessary to obtain an updated BIOS IC that is compatible with the new processor (and with the system board's chipset). The old IC will need to be removed from the board and replaced by the new IC. This upgraded BIOS can normally be obtained from the system board manufacturer.

Most portable designs only include two Type II-sized PC Card slots. These slots can physically accommodate two Type I or Type II cards, or a single Type III card. Type III cards only use one of the two 68-pin JEIDA connectors but take up the entire opening.

If the drive is being upgraded substantially, such as from a 500MB IDE drive to a 10GB EIDE drive, check the capabilities of the system's ROM BIOS. When the system's BIOS doesn't support LBA or ECHS enhancements, the drive capacity of even the largest hard drive will be limited to 528MB. Almost all newer BIOS support LBA and ECHS enhanced drives.

When upgrading the hard drive, make sure that the correct cabling is being used to connect the drive to the system. You should know that installing a new ATA-66 or ATA-100 drive in a system using the old IDE cable will cause the drive's operation to be diminished to the level of the old drive. Without the new cables, communications with the drives will be limited to the lesser standard determined by the 40-conductor signal cable.

If the type of RAM device being installed is not one of the recommended types, the PC might not be able to recognize the new memory. If the new RAM is being added to expand the existing banks of memory, the system might not recognize this additional RAM. The problem will show up in the form of a short memory count during the POST routines.

If you install a new microprocessor in a system and the auto-detect function for the microprocessor does not work, you must make sure that 1) the BIOS version will support the new processor, and 2) the Core Voltage, Bus Frequency, and Bus Ratio settings are properly configured for the new processor.

When the system is upgraded, the BIOS should also be upgraded to support it. In newer system boards, this can be accomplished by flashing (electrically altering) the information in the BIOS with the latest compatibility firmware. Themost recent full non-beta version of the BIOS should be used for this upgrade.

If you need to update the BIOS IC and it cannot be flashed or swapped, you will need to upgrade the entire system board.
