Cincoze BIOS Update Procedure

Applies to: DI-Series, DS-Series, DX-Series, P2000-Series

• Copy the BIOS files to a FAT32 formatted flash drive

• Insert the flash drive into the Cincoze unit

• Power on the unit, and press the Del key a few times until the blue BIOS menu appears

BIOS Navigation: Use the arrow keys to move around, press enter to select/open, press Esc to go back.

• Under the Advanced tab, open the CSM Configuration menu

• Change the Boot option filter to UEFI only

• Go back to the main menu

• Save Changes and Exit

• Press Del again to get back into the BIOS

• Your flash drive should now be listed under the boot tab. Make sure Boot Option #1 is set to the flash drive.

Note: The next 3 steps are only relevant for larger Cincoze units. Smaller units such as the DA-1000 and DC-1100 may not have the PCH-FW Configuration menu. If the menu is missing, skip ahead to the Save & Exit step.

• Now head back over to the Advanced tab and open the PCH-FW Configuration menu

• Select the only option

• Enable Me FW Image Re-Flash

• Save Changes and Exit

• The unit will now reboot and boot to the flash drive. If it reboots more than once, you will need to go back and enable Me FW Image Re-flash again. It only remains active for 1 reboot. This is a security feature.

• Press enter at the prompt to begin the flashing process

• Do not unplug the unit during the process

• If this error message is displayed, the firmware re-flash setting was not enabled correctly. Allow the process to complete. Go back to that step and try again.

• The BIOS has now been updated. Press control-alt-del to restart. The unit may restart several times to configure the new BIOS.
