After you finish the setting of jumpers and connect correct cables. Power on
and enter the BIOS Setup, press <Del> during POST (Power On Self Test).

Warning:

 The upgrade of new BIOS will permanently replace your original BIOS

will be refreshed and you probably need to re-configure your system.

 

14. Power-on and Load BIOS Setup 

15. AOpen Bonus Pack CD 

17. BIOS Upgrade 

AOpen Easy Flash is more user-friendly than traditional flash method. The BIOS binary 
file and flash routine are combined together and you simply run a single file to complete 
the flash process.   

1.  Download new BIOS upgrade zipped file from AOpen's web site. For example,

AX4B133102.ZIP. 

2. Run shareware PKUNZIP (

http://www.pkware.com

) which supports

miscellaneous operation systems to extract the binary BIOS file and the flash
utility. Or Winzip (

http://www.winzip.com/

) in Windows environment. 

3.  Save the unzipped file into a bootable floppy disk. 

For example, AX4B133102.BIN & AX4B133102.EXE   

4.  Reboot the system to DOS mode without loading any memory handler (such as

EMM386) or device driver. It needs around 520K free memory space. 

5.  Execute A:> AX4B133102 and the program will do the rest of it. 

       

DO NOT turn off the power during FLASH PROCESS until you are asked to!!

 

6.  Reboot system and press <Del> to enter BIOS Setup, Choose "Load Setup

Defaults", then “Save & Exit Setup” and finish the BIOS upgrade. 

16. Installing Onboard Sound Driver 

You can use the autorun menu of Bonus CD disc. Choose the utility and driver and select
model name.   

Del 

Warning: 

Please avoid of using "Load 

Turbo Defaults", unless you are sure 
your system components (CPU, DRAM, 
HDD, etc.) are good enough for turbo 
setting. 

This motherboard comes with a RealTek ALC650 5.1CH AC97 CODEC, you can find the
audio driver from the Bonus Pack CD disc auto-run menu.
