Updating the BIOS
You can download and install updated BIOS for this motherboard from the manufacturer's
Web site. New BIOS provides support for new peripherals, improvements in performance,
or fixes for known bugs. Install new BIOS as follows:
1
Create a bootable system disk. (Refer to Windows online help for information
on creating a bootable system disk.)
2
Download the Flash Utility and new BIOS file from the manufacturer's Web
site. Copy these files to the bootable device.
3
Turn off your computer and insert the bootable device in your computer. (You
might need to run the Setup Utility and change the boot priority items on the
Advanced BIOS Features Setup page, to force your computer to boot from
the bootable device first.)
4
At the C:\ or A:\ prompt, type the Flash Utility program name and the file name
of the new bios and then press <Enter>. Example: AMINF340.EXE 040706.ROM
5
When the installation is complete, remove the bootable device from the com-
puter and restart your computer. If your motherboard has a Flash BIOS jumper,
reset the jumper to protect the newly installed BIOS from being overwritten.
The computer will restart automatically.
This concludes Chapter 3. Refer to the next chapter for information on the software
supplied with the motherboard.
