1. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) to download the latest BIOS file for
the motherboard.

system.
3. You can launch the EZ Flash 2 by two methods.
(1) Insert the floppy disk / USB flash disk that contains the BIOS file to the
floppy disk drive or the USB port.
Press + during POST to display the following.
