Chapter 2: BIOS Setup

2.1.5 ASUS EZ Flash utility

The ASUS EZ Flash 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-Test (POST).
To update the BIOS using EZ Flash:
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, then restart the system.

3. Press + during POST to display the following.

Insert Disk then press Enter or ESC to continue POST

4. Insert the floppy disk that

contains the BIOS file to the

floppy disk drive then press

. The following

screen appears.

Do not shutdown or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent system

boot failure!
