Updating the Flash BIOS

This mainboard has two BIOS ROM chip options. It can use ei­

ther of two programmable 'flash' EPROM chips, 5-volt or 12-volt,

either of which you can update when BIOS upgrades are available.

Jumper JP9 enables programming for the BIOS ROM chip. There

are two settings. The default setting, which shorts pins 1&2, is for

Write-Protect/Normal Read. The other setting, which shorts pms

2&3, is for Enable Programming.

When you finish programming, always set JP9 back to the default

Write-Protect/Normal Read setting.

The following example illustrates this procedure.
