Using BIOS
Updating the BIOS
You can download and install updated BIOS for this motherboard from the
manufacturer’s Web site. New BIOS provides support for new peripherals, improve-
ments in performance, or fixes for known bugs. Install new BIOS as follows:
1
If your motherboard has a BIOS protection jumper, change the setting to
allow BIOS flashing.
2
If your motherboard has an item called Firmware Write Protect in Ad-
vanced BIOS features, disable it. (Firmware Write Protect prevents
BIOS from being overwritten.)
3
Create a bootable system disk. (Refer to Windows online help for
information on creating a bootable system disk.)
4
Download the Flash Utility and new BIOS file from the manufacturer’s
Web site. Copy these files to the system diskette you created in Step 3.
5
Turn off your computer and insert the system diskette in your computer’s
diskette drive.
6
At the A:\ prompt, type the Flash Utility program name and the file name
of the new bios and then press
040706.ROM
7
Restart your computer when the installation is complete. If your
motherboard has a Flash BIOS jumper, reset the jumper to protect the
newly installed BIOS from being overwritten. The computer will restart
automatically.
8
You also can follow readme.txt or execute bath file directly to do a
simple BIOS flash.
This concludes Chapter 3. Refer to the next chapter for information on the software
