Utility Folder Installation Notes
Award Flash Memory Utility
This utility lets you erase the system BIOS stored on a Flash
Memory chip on the mainboard, and lets you copy an updated
BIOS to the chip. Take care how you use this program. If you
erase the current BIOS and fail to write a new BIOS, or write a
new BIOS that is incorrect, your system will malfunction.
For this mainboard, use
AWD7XX.EXE
to flash the BIOS (where
7XX is the version number) . You can use any version, but we
suggest you use the latest version. To use the utility, you must be in
real -mode DOS (not the DOS box that is available in Windows
95/98/NT). If you are using WINDOWS 95/98, shut down your
computer and select the option
Restart in DOS
in the shutdown
dialog box. If you are running Windows NT, shut down your
computer and boot from a DOS diskette temporarily in order to run
the flash memory utility.
