Flash Writer Utility
You can upgrade the BIOS on your motherboard by using the Flash Memory
Writer (FMW) utility. This utility can be downloaded from TYAN's BBS and
from the TYAN website. The system BIOS is stored on a flash EEPROM chip
on the mainboard, which can be erased and reprogrammed by the FMW. The
following three files make up the FMW:
AWDFLASH.EXE
README.TXT
S71AWXX.BIN*
(*This file name is subject to change and can have either a .bin or .rom extension.)
The FMW records (or programs) a new BIOS onto the flash memory chip. You
cannot upgrade an Award BIOS to an AMI BIOS or vice-versa.
Note: You should always clear your CMOS after flashing a BIOS. This will clear
out any stray settings from your old BIOS which may have been carried over
from the flashing process. Most problems encountered after flashing a BIOS
