Utility Folder Installation Notes

Award Flash Memory Utility
This utility lets you erase the system BIOS stored on a Flash Memory
chip on the mainboard, and lets you copy an updated BIOS to the chip.
Take care how you use this program. If you erase the current BIOS and
fail to write a new BIOS, or write a new BIOS that is incorrect, your
system will malfunction.
There are several flash memory utilities. For this mainboard you must
use the AWD763.EXE utility. To use the utility, you must be in real-mode
DOS (not the DOS box that is available in Windows 95/98/NT). If you are
using WINDOWS 95/98, shut down your computer and select the option
Restart in DOS in the shut-down dialog box. If you are running Windows
NT, shut down your computer and boot from a DOS diskette temporarily
in order to run the flash memory utility.
GAMUT
The Gamut audio rack software for the built-in sound system is provided
for different languages. Log on to the appropriate directory for your
language, then run SETUP to install the application software.
