You should check which BIOS file is to be used with your motherboard, don't flash with the wrong
BIOS file. Otherwise, you may cause system malfunctions.
Note
Please do not use the Award flash memory writer version that earlier than Version 7.52C to flash your
KG7-Lite/KG7/KG7-RAID motherboard BIOS. Otherwise, it may cause flash fail or un-anticipate
problems.
Note
During the updating, the progress will be measured by white blocks. The last four blue blocks of the
flash update process represent the “ BIOS boot block ”. The BIOS boot block is used to prevent the
BIOS from becoming corrupt during programming. It should not be programmed every time. If this
“
BIOS boot block
” remains intact when the BIOS becomes corrupt during programming, then you
can boot from a bootable floppy next time you boot your computer. This allows you to flash your
BIOS again without the need for technical support from the dealer.
