Updating the BIOS file
To update the BIOS file using the AFUDOS utility:
1.
Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) and download the latest BIOS file for
the motherboard. Save the BIOS file to a bootable floppy disk.
Write the BIOS filename on a piece of paper. You need to type the exact BIOS
filename at the DOS prompt.
2.
Copy the AFUDOS utility (afudos.exe) from the motherboard support CD to
the bootable floppy disk you created earlier.
3.
Boot the system in DOS mode, then at the prompt, type:
afudos /i[filename]
where [filename] is the latest or the original BIOS file on the bootable floppy
disk, then press <Enter>.
A:\>afudos /iTS500-E5.ROM
The utility verifies the file, then starts updating the BIOS file.
A:\>afudos /iTS500-E5.ROM
