You are advised to update BIOS from 1.4.2 or previous version to 1.5.0 first, then update
from 1.5.0 to 1.5.6. If you update BIOS to 1.5.5 directly without updating to 1.5.0 version,
the system may not reboot unless you unplug AC power cord once.

The 1.5.0 is a transitional BIOS. It is used to update to 1.5.6 version. It is not recommended to use
1.5.0 for other purpose and to downgrade to 1.5.0 from any version.
