3.17 How to Upgrade the BIOS
AOpen Easy Flash is more user friendly than traditional flash method. The
BIOS binary file and flash routine are combined together and you simply run a
single file to complete the flash process.
1. Get new BIOS upgrade program from AOpen's web site. For example,
6BCEZ200.EXE. It is recommended to save it to a bootable DOS floppy
diskette for error recovery.
2. Reboot the system to DOS mode without loading any memory handler
(such as EMM386) or device driver. It needs around 520K free memory
space.
3. Execute A:> 6BCEZ200
DO NOT turn off the power during FLASH PROCESS.
4. Reboot the system by turn off the power after flash is completed.
5. Reload the "BIOS SETUP DEFAULT" and reconfigure other items as
previous set. Save & Exit. Done!
Note: If you encounter BIOS flash fail, use
PCI VGA card to check if it can be boot from
floppy and flash again.
Note: The upgrade of new BIOS will
permanently
content after flashing. The original BIOS
setting and Win95/Win98 PnP information will
be refreshed and you probably need to re-
configure your system.
