Updating the BIOS
You can download and install updated BIOS for this motherboard from the manufacturer
’
s Web site. New
BIOS provides support for new peripherals, improvements in performance, or fixes for known bugs. Install
new BIOS as follows:
1
If your motherboard has a BIOS protection jumper, change the setting to allow BIOS flashing.
2
If your motherboard has an item called Firmware Write Protect in Advanced BIOS features,
disable it. (Firmware Write Protect prevents BIOS from being overwritten.
3
Create a bootable system disk. (Refer to Windows online help for information on creating a
bootable system disk.)
4
Download the Flash Utility and new BIOS file from the manufacturer
’
s Website. Copy these files
to the system diskette you created in Step 3.
5
Turn off your computer and insert the system diskette in your computer
’
s diskette drive. (You
might need to run the Setup Utility and change the boot priority items on the Advanced BIOS
Features Setup page, to force your computer to boot from the floppy diskette drive first.)
6
At the A:\ prompt, type the Flash Utility program name and press <Enter>.
7
Type the filename of the new BIOS in the
“
File Name to Program
”
text box. Follow the onscreen
directions to update the motherboard BIOS.

When the installation is complete, remove the floppy diskette from the diskette drive and restart
your computer. If your motherboard has a Flash BIOS jumper, reset the jumper to protect the
newly installed BIOS from being overwritten.
