Using Bios - ECS L7VMM2 Manual

2. If your motherboard has an item called Firmware Write Protect in Advanced
BIOS features, disable it. (Firmware Write Protect prevents BIOS from being
overwritten.)
3. Create a bootable system disk. (Refer to Windows online help for infor-
mation on creating a bootable system disk.)
4. Download the Flash Utility and new BIOS file from the manufacturer's
Web site. Copy these files to the system diskette you created in Step 3.
5. Turn off your computer and insert the system diskette in your computer's
diskette drive. (You might need to run the Setup Utility and change the boot
priority items on the Advanced BIOS Features Setup page, to force your
computer to boot from the floppy diskette drive first.)
6. At the A:\ prompt, type the Flash Utility program name and press <Enter>.
7. Type the filename of the new BIOS in the "File Name to Program" text box.
Follow the onscreen directions to update the motherboard BIOS.
8. When the installation is complete, remove the floppy diskette from the disk-
ette drive and restart your computer. If your motherboard has a Flash BIOS
jumper, reset the jumper to protect the newly installed BIOS from being
overwritten.
