Flash Writer Utility

The AMI Flash Writer Utility is now included in the AMIBIOS, and so
it is simpler to upgrade the BIOS of your mainboard. The system BIOS
is stored on a flash EEPROM ROM chip on the mainboard which can
be erased and reprogrammed by following the directions below.
1. From the DOS prompt, rename the BIOS file that you have down-
loaded to "amiboot.rom" and copy it on to a floppy disk.
2. Insert the floppy disk with the BIOS upgrade into the A: drive.
3. Turn the power off.
4. While holding the <Ctrl> and <Home> keys, turn the power on. The
system will begin to read from the A: drive, and write the BIOS infor-
mation contained on the floppy disk in that drive to the EEPROM ROM
chip. When the BIOS has been totally reprogrammed, the system will
reboot with the new BIOS in operation.
5. If the system does not reboot in three minutes, power down the
system, wait a few seconds, and then turn the power back on again. You
will be prompted to press <F1> to run Setup. You may check your
settings at this time, or simply save and exit the program.
