Appendix F. BIOS Update Guide

The procedure illustrated here is based on the model SE6 as an example; all other models follow the same
process.
1. First, find out the model name and version number of this motherboard. You can find a bar-code
sticker typed with model name and version number on motherboard PCB.
2. Find out the current BIOS ID. For example, in this case, the current BIOS ID is [00]. If you already
have the latest BIOS, no any update action is necessary. If your BIOS is not the latest BIOS, go on to
the next step.
3. Download the correct BIOS file from our Web site.
4. Double click the downloaded file, it will self-extract
to [awdflash.exe] and [*.bin] files.
5. Make a bootable floppy disk and copy the necessary
files onto it. You may make a floppy disk bootable
either in Explorer or in the DOS prompt mode.
[c:\]format a: /s
After formatting and transferring the system to the
floppy disk, copy two files into it. One is the BIOS
flash utility [awdflash.exe] and the other is the
decompressed BIOS binary [*.bin] file.
