Updating the BIOS

The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) can be updated using the AwardBIOS
Flash Utility. Follow these instructions to update the BIOS using this utility.
1. Download the latest BIOS file from the ASUS web site. Rename the file to
m2nsli.bin and save it to a floppy disk CD ROM or a USB flash disk in
FAT 16/12 format.
Save only the updated BIOS file in the floppy disk to avoid loading the wrong
BIOS file.
2. Copy the AwardBIOS Flash Utility (awdflash.exe) from the Software folder of
the support CD to the floppy disk, CD-ROM, or USB flash disk with the latest
BIOS file.
3. Boot the system in DOS mode using the bootable floppy disk, CD-ROM, or
USB flash disk you created earlier.
4. When the A:> appears, replace the bootable floppy disk with the floppy disk
containing the new BIOS
file and the Award BIOS
Flash Utility.
6. Type the BIOS file name in
the File Name to Program
field, then press <Enter>.
