Upgrade Guide
Updating the Flash BIOS
This mainboard has two BIOS ROM chip options.
It
can use ei-
ther of two programmable 'flash' EPROM chips, 5-volt or 12-volt,
either of which you can update when BIOS upgrades are available.
Jumper JP17 enables programming for the type of BIOS ROM
chip installed. With programming enabled, you u se the Flash
Memory Writer utility to update the BIOS. The jumper settings are
in Chapter 4 and intructions for the FMW utility are in Chapter 3.
Note: When you finish programming, always setJP17back to the
default Disable Programming setting which is also for Normal Read
of either voltage flash chip.
The following example illustrates this procedure for the default
BIOS chip for this mainboard, a 12-volt flash chip.
