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.
2. Save the BIOS file to a floppy disk, then restart the system.
3. Press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the following.
Insert Disk press Enter or Esc to continue POST
4. Insert the floppy disk that contains the BIOS file to the floppy disk
drive, then press <Enter>. When the correct BIOS file is found,
EZ Flash opens the AwardBIOS Flash Utility.
The AwardBIOS Flash Utility searches the floppy disk for the updated
BIOS file. When found, the utility automatically updates the BIOS, then
restarts the system.
