IV. BIOS SETUP

Flash Memory Writer Utility

AFLASH.EXE: This is the Flash Memory Writer utility that updates the BIOS by uploading
a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM chip on the motherboard. To determine the
BIOS version of your motherboard, check the last four numbers of the code displayed on the
upper left-hand corner of your screen during bootup. Larger numbers represent a newer BIOS
file. This file works only in DOS mode.

NOTE: 

 The following screen displays are provided as examples only and may not reflect the

screen contents displayed on your system.

Main Menu

1. Save Current BIOS To File

This option allows you to save a
copy of the original motherboard
BIOS in case you need to rein-
stall it. It is recommended that
you save AFLASH.EXE and the
BIOS file to a bootable floppy
disk.

IMPORTANT!

  If  “unknown” is displayed after Flash Memory:, the memory chip is

either not programmable or is not supported by the ACPI BIOS and therefore, cannot be
programmed by the Flash Memory Writer utility.

To save your current BIOS, type
[1] at the Main Menu and then
press <Enter>. The Save Cur-
rent BIOS To File screen ap-
pears. Type a filename and the path, for example, A:\XXX-XX.XXX and then press <Enter>.
