4.1.4 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 2 utility is built in the BIOS chip so it is accessible by pressing
<Alt> + <F2> during the Power-On Self-Test (POST).
• Insert the floppy disk / USB flash disk that contains the BIOS file to the
floppy disk drive or a USB port.
Press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the following:
• Insert the floppy disk / USB flash disk that contains the BIOS file to the
floppy disk drive or a USB port.
Press <Del> during POST to enter the BIOS Setup utility. Go to Tools >
EZ Flash2, then press <Enter>.
4. Press <Tab> to locate the correct file, then press <Enter>. EZ Flash 2
performs the BIOS updating process and automatically reboots the system
when done.
• This function supports USB flash disks and floppy disks with FAT 32/16
format and single partition only.
• DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent
system boot failure!
