To select an option, type its corresponding number in the provided space and then
press the key. Follow these procedure to update the PnP motherboard BIOS.

1. Download the new BIOS by selecting the second command option from the

Advanced Features screen. The program displays a second screen prompting
you for the name of the BIOS file. Type in the complete name of the file,
including the file name extension, and then press the key. The utility
then downloads the new BIOS file. The following message appears:

DO NOT TURN OFF THE SYSTEM IF THERE IS A PROBLEM!

If you encounter problems while downloading the new BIOS, DO NOT turn
off your system since this might prevent your system from
booting up. Just repeat the process, and if the problem still persists, download
the original BIOS file you saved to disk.

2. After successfully downloading the new BIOS file, exit the Flash Memory

Writer utility and then turn off your system. Set the jumper back to its de-
fault setting of Programming “Disabled.”

3. Turn on the system and hold down to enter BIOS Setup. You must

load "Setup Default" to affect the new BIOS.

WARNING: If the Flash Memory Writer utility was not able to successfully
download a complete BIOS file, your system may not be able to boot up. If
this happens, your system will require service from your vendor.
