Attention:
  * Incorrect update could result in the problems such as failure to boot the 
    system. Update the system following the instructions in this document to 
    prevent the error in operation. Unexpected accidents such as power failure, 
    lightning strike, interrupt and noise during the system update may damage 
    the device or make the system malfunction in the worst case. Be noted that 
    you may need to pay for the repair fee for the above cases.
  
  * When Windows(R) BitLocker(TM) function is set to "Enabled", update the 
    system BIOS after making the function "Disabled". Then make the function "
    Enabled" after update and reboot of the system. If you update the system 
    BIOS without making the function "Disabled", you may need the recovery 
    password when you boot the system.
  
  * When you use Hyper-V Ver.1.0 of Windows Server(R) 2008, do not select "ACPI 
    C2" in the Processor C3 Report selection menu in the SETUP menu. If you 
    select "ACPI C2", it could result in much-delay of the system time display 
    on the Guest OS.
  
  * This software does not support virtualization environment.
