2.1.3 CrashFree BIOS feature
The CrashFree BIOS feature allows you to boot the computer from a floppy disk
and update the BIOS in case the original BIOS fails or gets corrupted.
1. You must have a bootable floppy disk ready before updating the BIOS.
2. The bootable floppy disk could be the one that you created following the
procedure in section 2.1.2, and should contain the AFLASH.EXE utility.
3. If the BIOS fails (ROM data or codes are corrupted), a message appears
during POST indicating the failure.
To update the BIOS:
1. Turn on the computer, and when prompted, place the bootable floppy disk into
the floppy drive, so that the computer boots from the floppy disk.
2. Follow the BIOS update procedure in section "2.1.2 Using AFLASH to update
the BIOS."
To use the CrashFree BIOS feature on this motherboard, install a VGA card into
one of the expansion slots before rebooting the computer. On motherboards
with onboard VGA, such as the P4S533-MX, you will not see the screen display
when the BIOS crashes even if you reboot the computer.
