17. BIOS Upgrade
AOpen Easy Flash is an user-friendly 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. Download new BIOS upgrade zipped file from AOpen's web site. For example,
MX3WE3102.ZIP.
2. Run shareware PKUNZIP (
http://www.pkware.com
) which supports
miscellaneous operation systems to extract the binary BIOS file and the flash
utility. Or Winzip (
http://www.winzip.com/
) in Windows environment.
3. Save the unzipped file into a bootable floppy disk.
For example, MX3WE3102.BIN & MX3WE3102.EXE
4. Reboot the system to DOS mode without loading any memory handler (such as
EMM386) or device driver. It needs around 520K free memory space.
5. Execute A:> MX3WE3102 and the program will do the rest of it.
DO NOT turn off the power during FLASH PROCESS until you are asked to!!
6. Reboot system and press <Del> to enter BIOS Setup, Choose "Load Setup
Defaults", then “Save & Exit Setup” and finish the BIOS upgrade.
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.
