Mainboard K8NF4X–754

Appendix IV: ABS (Albatron BIOS Security)

Card Setup

Introduction

The ABS (Albatron BIOS Security) function will provide your BIOS a backup, even when your

onboard BIOS has damaged and caused the system that can not be powered on. You can

just insert an ABS Card (optional) onto the mainboard header, and through setting the card

jumper caps, the enabled ABS function will assist you to recover your onboard BIOS.

Setup Steps

First, make a boot floppy disk from your operating system (WIN 98/ME/XP). Then visit

our website and download the latest version of BIOS files for the mainboard that you are going

to install, and save it into the floppy disk you made.
2.

Remove the jumper caps from the mainboard BIOSCN1 header

(Refer Figure1)

, and

insert an ABS Card instead of. Remember to set the jumper caps which are on the ABS_JP1

header of the ABS Card with the location of “

Rescue BIOS

”

(Refer Figure2)
