4.11 BIOS
UPDATE
The BIOS program instructions are contained within the computer chips called FLASH ROM that
is located on your system board. The chip can be electronically reprogrammed, allowing you to
upgrade your BIOS firmware without removing and re-installing it.
The AR-B1320 provides a FLASH BIOS update function for you to easily upgrade to a new BIOS
version. Please follow the operating steps to update new BIOS:
Step 1:
Turn on your system in DOZ mode. Press [F5] so the system will not execute the
CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files (See Note1 below). Keep your system in the
real mode.
Step 2:
Insert the provided utility diskette into the floppy disk drive.
Step 3:
In the MS-DOS mode, you can type the AMIFLASH program.
A:\>AMIFLASH FILENAME /B
Step 4:
The screen will show the message as follows:
Enter the BIOS’ File name for which the Flash EPROM will be programmed. Press
<ENTER> after inserting the file name or press <ESC> to exit.
Step 5:
And then enter the file name to the <Enter File Name> box. And the <Message> box will
show the notice as follows. In the bottom of this window, it always shows the gray
statement.
Flash EPROM Programming is going to start. System will not be usable until
Programming of Flash EPROM is successfully complete. In case of any error, existing
Flash EPROM must be replaced by new program Flash EPROM.
Step 6:
When the above statement disappears, press the <Y> key to update the new BIOS.
And then the <Message> box will show the <Programming Flash EPROM>, and the gray
statement shows <Please Wait>.
Step 7:
When the BIOS update is finished, the message will show <Flash Update Completed -
Pass>.
Note:
1) If the system doesn’t detect the boot procedure after turning on the computer, please press the [F5]
key immediately. The system will pass the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.
2) The AMIFLASH.COM file is included in the attached diskette’s file. If not, the user can use the
versions from V6.31 to V6.45.
