2.1.2 ASUS EZ Flash 2 utility
The ASUS EZ Flash 2 feature allows you to update the BIOS without having to go
through the long process of booting from a floppy disk and using a DOS-based
utility. The EZ Flash 2 utility is built-in the BIOS chip so it is accessible by pressing
+ during the Power-On Self-Test (POST).
To update the BIOS using EZ Flash 2:
1. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) to download the latest BIOS file for
the motherboard.
2. Save the BIOS file to a floppy disk or a USB flash disk, then restart the
system.
3. You can launch the EZ Flash 2 by two methods.
(1) Insert the floppy disk / USB flash disk that contains the BIOS file to the
floppy disk drive or the USB port.
Press + during POST to display the following.
(2) Enter BIOS setup program. Go to the Tools menu to select EZ Flash 2
and press to enable it.
You can switch between drives by pressing before the correct file
is found. Then press .
4. When the correct BIOS file is found, EZ Flash 2 performs the BIOS update
process and automatically reboots the system when done.
• This function can support devices such as USB flash disks or floppy disks
with FAT 32/16 format only.
• Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent
system boot failure!
