the floppy disk drive or the USB port.
2.1.3 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 utility is built-in the BIOS chip so
it is accessible by pressing <Alt> + <F2> during the Power-On Self Tests
(POST).
• This function can support devices such as USB flash disk, hard disk,
or floppy disk with FAT32/16/12 format only.
• Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to
prevent system boot failure!
