BIOS Setup

To update the BIOS, you will need the new BIOS file and a flash
utility, AWDFLASH.EXE. Please contact technical support or your
sales representative for the files.

1. Save the new BIOS file along with the flash utility

AWDFLASH.EXE to a floppy disk.

2. Reboot the system and enter the Award BIOS Setup Utility to

set the first boot drive to “Floppy”.

3. Save the setting and reboot the system.

4. After the system booted from the floppy disk, execute the flash

utility by typing AWDFLASH.EXE. The following screen will appear.

5. Type the new BIOS file name onto the gray area that is next to

“File Name to Program” then press <Enter>.

Award BIOS Flash Utility V.8.15B
