2-6 Chapter 2: BIOS setup
2.1.3 ASUS EZ Flash 2 utility
The ASUS EZ Flash 2 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 Tests (POST).
To update the BIOS using EZ Flash 2:
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. 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.
• This function can support devices such as USB flash disk, hard disk, or
floppy disk with FAT32/16/12 format only.
• Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to
prevent system boot failure!
