WEB site to obtain the newest BIOS file.
We will tell you how to use the flash utility to flash the BIOS for the SILURO
Note:
When you use the flash utility to flash the BIOS, the screen will be blank for about 20~25
seconds. This is a normal situation, not a malfunction. Do not reboot your computer during this
period, or you may cause the flash to fail.
Step 1. Reboot your computer into DOS environment, or open a Windows® 95/98 window to the DOS
prompt.
Step 2. Insert the SILURO™ GF2 MX Installation CD into your CD-ROM drive.
Step 3. Copy DOS4GW.EXE and NVFLASH.EXE to a new directory from path D:\NVFLASH. (D:
refers to the CD-ROM drive letter)
Step 4. Copy the new BIOS binary file to the new directory.
Step 5. Change to the new directory and type the following command:
NVFLASH -F[Filename]. ([Filename] refers to the name of BIOS binary file.)
Then press the "Enter" key. The program will begin flashing your display card BIOS.
Step 6. When the flash is complete (the screen will display images again), you must reboot your
computer system to make flash take effect.
