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 Tests (POST).

• This function can support devices such as USB flash disk, hard disk,

or floppy disk with FAT32/16/12 format only.

• Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to

prevent system boot failure!
