2.1. 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 floppy disk and

using a DOS-based utility. The EZ Flash is built-in the BIOS LPC chip

so it is accessible by simply pressing + during the Power-On

Self -Test (POST).

To update the BIOS using ASUS EZ Flash:

1. Visit the system builder website to download the latest BIOS file for your

motherboard and rename it to K8VVM.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.

4. Insert the floppy disk that contains the BIOS file. If the K8VVM.ROM file is

found in the floppy disk, EZ Flash performs the BIOS update process and

automatically reboots the system when done.

DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS! Doing so can

cause system boot failure!
