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 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 F A T 3 2 / 1 6 / 1 2

prevent system boot failure!
