STEP 6: Load BIOS defaults.

Normally the system redetects all devices after BIOS has been upgraded.  Therefore, we highly
recommend reloading the BIOS defaults after BIOS has been upgraded.  This important step
resets everything after the flash.

(1) Take out the floppy diskette from floppy drive, and then restart the system.  The boot up screen will

indicate your motherboard model and current BIOS version.

(2) Don't forget to press <DEL> key to enter BIOS setup again when system is boot up. Use the

arrows to highlight the item "LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS" then press "Enter". System will ask
"Load Setup Defaults (Y/N)?"  Press "Y" and "Enter" keys to confirm.
