VIA KT133 ATX MAINBOARD

BIOS UPGRADE

5-2

SYSTEM BIOS UPDATE PROCEDURE

Step 1. Download the system BIOS from the web page:

Visit the following web page:
http://www.azza.com.tw

Select “TECH SUPPORT”

Down load “AWDFLASH.EXE” program.

Scroll the screen downward and find the KT133TX mainboard.

Select the BIOS and start to down load. (Suppose the file name is

KT133I

.BIN)

Step 2. Prepare for the BIOS updating:

Windows is the multi task environment and some unexpected interruption

can be occurred and stop the BIOS updating. Since no interruption is
allowed during the BIOS updating. so the BIOS updating can not be made
under the Windows environment.

Get a floppy diskette and put it into the floppy disk drive.

Key-in the following command under the DOS prompt:

C:> FORMAT A:/S

When the diskette formatting is completed, have the files which you down

loaded from the web page copied into the floppy diskette. (

KT133I

.BIN and

AWDFLASH.EXE).
