5.1.3 Award BIOS Flash Utility
The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) can be updated using the
AwardBIOS Flash Utility. Follow these instructions to update the BIOS using
this utility.
1. Obtain the latest BIOS file from the ASUS web site or the support CD.
Normally the file name is
*
.BIN. Save it to a floppy disk.
Save only the updated BIOS file in the floppy disk to avoid loading the
wrong BIOS file.
2. Copy the AwardBIOS Flash Utility (awdflash.exe) to the floppy disk
with the latest BIOS file.
3. Boot the system in DOS mode using the bootable floppy disk you
created earlier.
4. When the A:> appears, replace the bootable floppy disk with the
floppy disk containing the new BIOS file and the Award BIOS Flash
Utility.
5. At the prompt, type
awdflash then press
<Enter>. The Award
BIOS Flash Utility screen
appears.
