To update the BIOS using CrashFree BIOS:

1. Turn on the system.
2. When prompted, place the floppy disk with the updated BIOS file to the floppy

disk drive.

Before using this utility, prepare the floppy disk containing the updated motherboard

BIOS. The AFUDOS.EXE utility is available from the support CD.

Before using the ASUS CrashFree BIOS feature on this motherboard, you must

install an AGP or PCI VGA card to one of the expansion slots before you turn on

the computer.
