5-3 ASUS T4-P5945GCX
5.1.1 ASUS EZ Flash utility
The ASUS EZ Flash 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
<Alt> + <F2> during the Power-On Self Tests (POST).
To update the BIOS using EZ Flash:
1. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) to download the latest BIOS file for
the motherboard and rename the same to P5L13LX.ROM.
2. Save the BIOS file to a floppy disk, then restart the system.
3. Press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the following.
EZFlash starting BIOS update
Checking for floppy...
4. Insert the floppy disk that contains the BIOS file to the floppy disk drive.
When the correct BIOS file is found, EZ Flash performs the BIOS update
process and automatically reboots the system when done.

Flashed successfully. Rebooting.
• Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent
system boot failure!
• A “Floppy not found!” error message appears if there is no floppy disk in the
drive. A “P5L13LX.ROM not found!” error message appears if the correct
BIOS file is not found in the floppy disk. Make sure that you rename the
BIOS file to P5L13LX.ROM.
