2.1.2 Advansus EZ Flash utility
The Advansus 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 Advansus website (www.Advansus.com) to download the latest
BIOS file for the motherboard and rename the same to
P5P800VM.ROM.
2. Save the BIOS file to a floppy disk, then restart the system.
3. Press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the following.
EZFlash starting BIOS update
Checking for floppy...
4. Insert the floppy disk that contains the BIOS file to the floppy disk drive.
When the correct BIOS file is found, EZ Flash performs the BIOS update
process and automatically reboots the system when done.

Checking for floppy...

• Do not shutdown or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent
system boot failure!
• A “Floppy not found!” error message appears if there is no floppy disk in the
drive.
• A “P5P800VM.ROM not found!” error message appears if the correct BIOS
file is not found in the floppy disk. Make sure that you rename the BIOS file
to P5P800VM.ROM.
