Important information before you update your BIOS

We don’t recommend BIOS updates for Ockel devices that do not need it. Review the recommendations below before updating your BIOS:

• Only update your BIOS if the latest version solves a problem you have. View latest BIOS fixes in the release notes included on the BIOS download section below.
• Before initiating a BIOS update, read and follow the update instructions. Download the PDF file including the installation manual and watch the installation tutorial included in the download section below.
• We don’t recommend downgrading the BIOS to an earlier version. It might not be supported.
• Don’t install BIOS updates on any serials starting with AC, these already have the latest BIOS updates, and earlier versions are not supported.
• If a BIOS update process is interrupted, your computer might not function properly. Always perform the update process while the Ockel Sirius A or Ockel Sirius A Pro is fully charged & connected to a power outlet.
• Make sure to create a back-up of your files before updating the BIOS.
• Please make sure to write down & save your Microsoft License code before performing a BIOS update. You can use software such as ShowKeyPlus in order to easily check your Windows license code.
