Updating the BIOS using Phoenix Phlash16 Utility
The Phoenix Phlash16 utility allows you to update the BIOS file in DOS environment
using a bootable floppy disk with the updated BIOS file. This utility also allows you to
copy the current BIOS file that you can use as backup when the BIOS fails or gets
corrupted during the updating process.
To update the BIOS file using the
Phoenix Phlash16
utility:
1. Visit the Viglen FTP site (
ftp://ftp.viglen.co.uk/files
) and download the latest BIOS
file for the VIG395P Motherboard. Save the BIOS file to a bootable floppy disk.
Note:
Write the BIOS filename on a piece of paper. You need to type the exact BIOS
filename at the DOS prompt.
2. Copy the Phoenix Phlash16 utility (PHLASH16.exe) from the Motherboard support
CD to the bootable floppy disk you created earlier with the following files:
•
Latest BIOS file (X7DAL(V).ROM)
•
FLASH.BAT
•
CHKFLASH.COM
•
PHLASH.EXE
•
Platform.bin
3. Boot the system in DOS mode, then at the prompt type:
flash.bat filename.rom
Where [filename] is the latest or the original BIOS file on the bootable floppy disk.
