Introduction
The ABS (Albatron BIOS Security) system provides your system with a recovery BIOS backup when your
onboard BIOS has been damaged beyond system boot capability.
Preparation and Setup
You should prepare a boot floppy disk and have it ready in case of such BIOS failures. Otherwise you
will have to find another computer to make the boot floppy disk from. When you make the disk, you
should visit our website and download the latest version of the BIOS file for your mainboard along with
the AWDFLASH.exe executable, placing both onto the floppy disk.
Onoboard BIOS Recovery Procedures
1. Make sure your system is turned off.
2. Set the jumper cap on the ABS_JP1 header located on the ABS Card to the “
Rescue BIOS
” position
(figure 1).
3. Remove the jumper caps (on pins 1-2, pins 3-4) from the mainboard ABS header (figure 2).
4. Insert the ABS Card onto the ABS header on the mainboard. The ABS will fit over the entire ABS
header and can only be inserted in one direction.
5.
Place the boot floppy disk (from the “Preparation and Setup” section) into the floppy drive and turn
on your system.
Note: If your system is not setup to use the floppy drive as the first boot drive, you must enter the BIOS
setup utility and make the appropriate adjustments. During the initial boot up sequence the screen
will display a message that will give you an opportunity to enter the BIOS setup utility (typically,
“Press Delete Key to enter BIOS utility”) .
