Flash Eprom Programming - American Megatrends Super Voyager LPX User Manual

7 Flash EPROM Programming

All versions of the American Megatrends Super Voyager LPX ISA
motherboard use Flash EPROM to store the system BIOS.
The advantage of using a Flash EPROM is that the EPROM chip does
not have to be replaced to update the BIOS. The end user can actually
reprogram the BIOS, using a ROM file supplied by American
Megatrends.
There are two methods for programming the Flash EPROM:
• program from system boot,
• run the AMIFlash utility.
Programming Flash from System Boot
Insert the floppy disk with the new BIOS file in drive A:, press and hold
down the <Ctrl> and <Home> keys to reprogram the Super Voyager
LPX motherboard Flash EPROM-based AMIBIOS before DOS boots.
Using AMIFlash
AMIFlash is a DOS utility that is executed from the DOS command line.
You can reprogram the Super Voyager LPX motherboard Flash
EPROM-based AMIBIOS from the DOS command prompt using
AMIFlash.
