3-1 To Update BIOS

• "AMIFLASH.EXE" is a Flash EPROM Programming utility that up-

dates the BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable

flash ROM on the mainboard. This program only works in DOS

environment, the utility can not be executed in Windows 95/98,

ME, NT, 2000 or Windows XP environment.

• Please follow the steps below for updating the sys-

tem BIOS:

Step 1. Please visit the board maker's website, download latest BIOS

file and AMI update utility. The file name of AMI update utility will be

"AMIXXX.EXE" of which " XXX " stands for the version number of the

file. The BIOS file format will be *.ROM, of which " * " stands for the

specific BIOS file name.

Step 2. Create a bootable diskette. Then copy the BIOS file and AMI

flash utility "AMIXXX.EXE" into the diskette.

Step 3. Insert the diskette into drive A, boot your system from the

diskette.

Step 4. Under " A " prompt, type " AMIXXX.EXE *.ROM " and then

press <Enter> to run BIOS update program. Please note that there

should be a space between AMIXXX.EXE and *.ROM. (*.ROM depends

on your mainboard model and version code. Instead of typing "*", you

should type the specific file name for your specific mainboard).

Step 5. When the message "Flash ROM Update Completed - Pass."

appears, please restart your system.

Step 6. You will see a message "CMOS Memory Size Wrong" during

booting the system. Press <Del> or <F1> to run CMOS setup utility,

then reload "LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS" or "Load Optimal Defaults"

and save this change.
