Type in the whole file name, e.g. 1854v100.BIN, and confirm that you want

to program the BIOS. The utility will then “Blank,” “Erase,” and “Program”

the flash memory on the mainboard with the new BIOS file. You should

choose “Yes” to save the original system BIOS to a floppy diskette before

you program the new BIOS. This leaves you with a backup of your original

BIOS in case you need to re-install it. If you cannot successfully program the

new BIOS file for some reason, re-install your original BIOS from the backup

file. Remember, always reset the CMOS after flashing to a new BIOS (see

page 17).

Warning: If you do not successfully install a complete BIOS file in the flash

memory on the mainboard, your system may not be able to boot. If this hap-

pens, it will require service by your system vendor. Follow the instructions in

this section precisely to avoid such an inconvenience.
