BIOS Upgrade
AOpen Easy Flash is more user friendly than traditional flash method. The BIOS binary
file and flash routine are combined together and you simply run a single file to complete
the flash process.
1. Get new BIOS upgrade program from AOpen's web site. For example,
AX3S102.EXE. It is recommended to save it to a bootable DOS floppy diskette for
error recovery.
2. Reboot the system to DOS mode without loading any memory handler (such as
EMM386) or device driver. It needs around 520K free memory space.
3. Execute A:> AX3S102
DO NOT turn off the power during FLASH PROCESS!
4. Reboot system and press <Del> to enter BIOS setup, Choose "Load Setup Defaults",
then “Save & Exit Setup”. Done!
Warning: The upgrade of new BIOS will permanently replace your
original BIOS content after flashing. The original BIOS setting and
Win95/Win98 PnP information will be refreshed and you probably
need to re-configure your system.
Power-on and Load BIOS Setup
After you finish the setting of jumpers and connect correct cables. Power
on and enter the BIOS Setup, press <Del> during
POST (Power-On
Self Test)
. Choose "
Load Setup Defaults
" for recommended optimal
performance.
Del
Warning: Please avoid of using "Load Turbo
Defaults", unless you are sure your system
components (CPU, DRAM, HDD, etc.) are good
enough for turbo setting.
