ASUS EZ Flash 2 utility
The ASUS EZ Flash 2 feature allows you to update the BIOS without having to go through
the long process of booting from a floppy disk and using a DOS-based utility. The EZ Flash 2
utility is built-in the BIOS chip so it is accessible by pressing <Alt> + <F2> during the Power-
On Self-Test (POST).
To update the BIOS using EZ Flash 2:
1.
Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) to download the latest BIOS file for the
motherboard.
2.
Save the BIOS file to a floppy disk or a USB flash disk, then restart the system.
3.
You can launch the EZ Flash 2 by two methods.
(1) Insert the floppy disk / USB flash disk that contains the BIOS file to the floppy disk
drive or the USB port.
Press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the following.
(2) Enter BIOS setup program. Go to the Tools menu to select EZ Flash2 and press
<Enter> to enable it.
You can switch between drives by pressing <Tab> before the correct file is found.
Then press <Enter>.
4.
When the correct BIOS file is found, EZ Flash 2 performs the BIOS update process and
automatically reboots the system when done.
