Updating the BIOS
The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) can be updated using the AwardBIOS
Flash Utility. Follow these instructions to update the BIOS using this utility.
1.
Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) and download the latest BIOS file for
the motherboard. Save the BIOS file to a bootable floppy disk or a USB flash
disk in FAT 16/12 format.
Save only the updated BIOS file in the disk to avoid loading the wrong BIOS file.
2.
Copy the AwardBIOS Flash Utility (awdflash.exe) from the Software folder of
the support DVD to the floppy disk or the USB flash disk with the latest BIOS
file.
3.
Boot the system in DOS mode using the floppy disk or the USB flash disk you
created earlier.
4.
Under the DOS mode, use <X:> (X stands for the name of the disk
assignment) to switch to the folder of the floppy disk or the USB flash disk
you saved the BIOS file and AwardBIOS Flash Utility.
5.
At the prompt, type
awdflash then press
<Enter>. The AwardBIOS
Flash Utility screen
appears.
