Installing Onboard Sound Driver

This motherboard comes with an AD1881 AC97 CODEC and the sound controller is
in VIA South Bridge chipset. You can find the audio driver from the Bonus Pack CD
disc autorun menu.

BIOS Upgrade

AOpen Easy Flash is more user-friendly than traditional flash method. The BIOS binary
file and flash routine are combined together and you simply run a single file to complete
the flash process.
1. Get new BIOS upgrade program from AOpen's web site. For example,
AX64 109.EXE. It is recommended to save it to a bootable DOS floppy diskette for
error recovery.
2. Reboot the system to DOS mode without loading any memory handler (such as
EMM386) or device driver. It needs around 520K free memory space.
3. Execute A:> AX64 109
DO NOT turn off the power during FLASH PROCESS
4. Reboot system and press <Del> to enter BIOS setup, Choose "Load Setup Defaults",
then "Save & Exit Setup". Done!
Warning: The upgrade of new BIOS will permanently replace your
original BIOS content after flashing. The original BIOS setting and
Win95/Win98 PnP information will be refreshed and you probably
need to re-configure your system.
