Continued

Enter the filename with which Flash EPROM will be reprogrammed (S87P.ROM). AMIFlash reads the file and displays a

startup message. A Press any key to continue. After Flash programming starts, programming activity is indicated by a
rotating

character. AMIFlash informs you when Flash programming is successful (as shown below). Press any key

to reboot the system.

Errors During Flash Programming

If an error occurs during programming, an error

messages is displayed and the system halts. Turn
power off and replace the Flash EPROM with a
new programmed Flash EPROM to make the
system usable.
