ezBIOS—Motherboard Shield and Upgrade
Utility
ezBIOS—One Click is All it Takes!
Transcend is proud to inform you that your new motherboard comes with ezBIOS from
Transcend. This BIOS updating program developed by Transcend will make BIOS updat-
ing easy, and enhance the security and stability of systems built with your Transcend
motherboard.
ezBIOS Features:
• Anti-Virus BIOS Protection – Transcend's motherboards come with a new hard-
ware monitoring function that can prevent any unauthorized BIOS updating caused
by viruses. Only ezBIOS, the BIOS updating program developed by Transcend,
can update a Transcend motherboard.
• BIOS Updating Confidence – Beyond preventing viruses, ezBIOS allows BIOS
updating with confidence. In the past, any failure or incorrect operation during
BIOS updating could crash the whole system. Normally the user wouldn't have
the capability to retrieve and reestablish the system, they could only return the
computer to the supplier for costly, time-consuming repairs. With the enhanced
security of ezBIOS, Transcend's motherboards can completely avoid these prob-
lems. No matter what happens during BIOS updating, the user's system can still
boot from the floppy drive, allowing the updating command to be executed again.
• One-Click, On-Line BIOS Updating – For users of Windows 95/98, ezBIOS allows
you to use Transcend's innovative on-line updating technology. Just one click can
detect the BIOS version of your system, download the latest version, and execute
all the updating commands automatically from the Internet. Restarting the com-
puter completes the BIOS updating. This feature should be very handy for users
who need to update BIOS repeatedly, especially MIS staff. The on-line updating
program is included on the drivers CD-ROM included in the box with your
motherboard. Following the step-by-step instructions, you can easily update or
backup your BIOS. (If you have a different OS, see Chapter 4 BIOS Upgrade for
your BIOS updating procedure.)
• Linear Overclocking – ezBIOS also provides a linear overclocking function. Users
can fine-tune the Front Side Bus (FSB) by increasing or reducing it by as little as
1.0MHz to find the optimum FSB setting for the system. (For details see "Fre-
quency/Voltage Control" in Chapter 3.) Should the FSB be set too high, the sys-
tem can be returned to the default setting by pressing the "INS" key.
