4.1.4 Using ASUS EZ Flash to update the BIOS

The ASUS EZ Flash feature allows you to easily update the BIOS without
having to go through the long process of booting from a diskette and using
a DOS-based utility. The EZ Flash is built-in to the BIOS firmware so it is
accessible by simply pressing during the Power-On Self Tests
(POST).

To update the BIOS using ASUS EZ Flash:

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

file for your motherboard and rename the downloaded file as
A8VB.ROM. Save the BIOS file to a floppy disk.

2. Reboot the system.

3. To launch EZ Flash, press during POST to display the

following.
