5.1 Flash Utility
The BIOS of the P6F163 mainboard can be upgraded by using a Flash
utility. A new version of the BIOS can be downloaded from the
factory’s Website. The system BIOS is stored in a 2 M-bit Flash
EEPROM that can be erased and reprogrammed by the Flash utility.
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 disk
which does not contain CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXE.BAT files. If
you are using MS-DOS 6.x, you can press the <F5> function key
when the “Starting MS-DOS.” Message appears on the screen to by
pass the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT.
