5.1. Flash Utility
The BIOS of the P6F212 mainboard can be upgraded by using a Flash
utility. A new version of the BIOS can be downloaded from the factorys
BBS and Web site. The system BIOS is stored in a 1 M-bit Flash EEPROM
that can be erased and reprogrammed by the Flash utility.
There are two files in the D:\DRIVER\FLASH directory:
&
FLASH.EXE
Flash utility for AWARD BIOS upgrade
&
README.TXT
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 the <F5> function key when the Starting
MS-DOS. message appears on the screen to by pass the CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT.
