Using Asus Ez Flash To Update The Bios - Asus Terminator 2 Barebone System T2-R User Manual

5.1.4 Using ASUS EZ Flash to update the BIOS

The ASUS EZ Flash feature allows you to easily update the BIOS without
having to go through the long process of booting from a floppy disk and
using a DOS-based utility. The EZ Flash is built into the BIOS LPC chip so
it is accessible by simply pressing <Alt> + <F2> during the Power-On Self
Tests (POST).
To update the BIOS using ASUS EZ Flash:
1. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) to download the latest BIOS
file for your motherboard and rename it to P4R8T.ROM. Save the
BIOS file to a floppy disk.
2. Reboot the system.
3. To launch EZ Flash, press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the
following.

4. Insert the floppy disk that contains the BIOS file. If the P4R8T.ROM
file is found in the floppy disk, EZ Flash performs the BIOS update
process and automatically reboots the system when done.

Doing so can cause system boot failure!
