4 Driver and Utility

4.1 Flash Utility

Q: How to update my motherboard BIOS?
A:

 The BIOS of the P5F97/P5F103 mainboard can be upgraded by using a 

Flash utility. A new version of the BIOS can be downloaded from the 
factory's BBS and Web site. The FLASH utility can be extract from the 
BIOS files that you download or at manufacturer diskette under 
FLASH directory which comes with the motherboard.

FLASH.EXE

The Flash utility for AWARD BIOS upgrade

README.TXT A text file of instructions 

The Flash utility will not work with any memory manager software 

running in the system. In order to make sure no memory manager 
software is running, boot your system from a bootable floppy diskette 
which does not contain CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. If 
you are using MS-DOS 6.x, you can press <F5> function key while the 
“Starting MS-DOS...” message appearing on the screen to bypass the 
CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT.

4.2 EIDE Bus Master Driver

Q: What are the Bus-Mastering doing?
A:

 The Bus Master EIDE logic designed in the ALi Aladdin V chipset is 

intended to reduce the workload of the CPU and make the CPU 
running more efficiently. It will take care the data transfer between 
IDE drives and system memory and let CPU handle other tasks. 

Q: Do I need to install the Bus-mastering driver?
A:

 You don’t need to install the Bus-Mastering driver for Windows95 

(OSR2.1 or greater version) and Windows98. Those OS will install the 

ALi M5229 PCI Bus Master IDE controller

 during the Windows 

installation.
