3.17 How to Upgrade the BIOS
AOpen Easy Flash is more user friendly than traditional flash method. The
BIOS binary file and flash routine are combined together and you simply run
a single file to complete the flash process.
1. Download this self-extracting file and execute it to get the binary BIOS file,
flash and checksum utilities.
2. Run "CHECKSUM MX3Wxxx.BIN" to see if the checksum of the downloaded file is
exactly the same as indicated. If not, do the downloading again.
3. Save "AOFL170.EXE" and "MX3Wxxx.BIN" to a DOS floppy disk. Reboot
your system with this disk without loading any memory handler (such as
EMM386) or device driver to get as much free space as possible.
4. Execute A:>AOFL170 MX3Wxxx.BIN.
DO NOT turn off the power during flashing process, until you are asked
to!!
5. Reboot system and press "DEL" to enter BIOS setup, load "BIOS SETUP
DEFAULT", then SAVE and EXIT. Done!
Note: The upgrade of new BIOS will
permanently
content after flashing. The original BIOS
setting and Win95/Win98 PnP information will
be refreshed and you probably need to re-
configure your system.
