Quick Installation Guide
~4~
Option 1: Use /file switch (applied to FAT16 file system):
Please use following command to create a hidden file in the root directory of your hard disk for
Suspend to Hard Drive to save the system status and memory image.
C:>AOZVHDD /c /file
Please make sure that you have enough continuous HDD space for creating this hidden file.
For example, if you have 32MB of system memory and 4MB of VGA memory, you need at
least 36MB (32MB + 4MB) of continuous HDD space. If AOZVHDD failed to allocate the HDD
space, you may run "DEFRAG" Utility or "Disk Defragmenter" which come with MS-DOS or
Win'95 to free HDD space.
Option2: Use /partiton switch (applied to FAT16/FAT32 file system):
To create a separate partiton for Suspend to Hard Drive, please make sure you have reserved
a free partition. We suggest you reserve the free partition which space is appropriate for your
future memory expansion. For example, if you have 32MB of system memory and 4MB of
VGA memory currently, but you plan to upgrade system memory to 64MB in the near future,
then you may reserve a 68MB (64MB+4MB) space by using a disk utility (such as fdisk). Next,
use following command to create a suspend partition:
C:>AOZVHDD /c /partition
If there is no extra free partition and you don't want your data lost, please do not use this
partition method.

To upgrade your BIOS, please follow the steps as below:
1.
Get new BIOS binary file from AOpen's web site. For example, AX6L130.BIN.
2.
Bootup the system from floppy without loading any memory handler (such as EMM386) or
device driver.
3.

4.
After loading the new BIOS code, the utility will prompt you to save original BIOS code
into your HDD or floppy. Please press "Y" to store it as "BIOS.OLD".
5.
After the old BIOS has been successfully saved, press "Y" to replace BIOS.
6.
DO NOT turn off the power during "FLASHING".
7.
