click Shut Down, and then click Shut down the computer?. Do not turn off your

BIOS Support

Physically, the onboard 1MB Flash ROM chip can be used for any of the ASUS
motherboards. However, the ROM must be programmed to contain BIOS for a spe-
cific motherboard and CPU. The wrong BIOS may cause problem booting-up your
system. When you purchase a CPU card together with the baseboard, the onboard
Flash ROM chip contains the BIOS for that CPU card. If you purchase a CPU card
separately, a Flash ROM chip for the separate CPU card is supplied. You must re-
move the onboard ROM and switch it with the new ROM.
