AOpen Easy Flash is user-friendlier 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. Download new BIOS upgrade zipped file from AOpen's web site. For example,
MX4B533102.ZIP.
2. Run shareware PKUNZIP (
) which supports miscellaneous
operation systems to extract the binary BIOS file and the flash utility. Or Winzip
(
) in Windows environment.
3. Save the unzipped file into a bootable floppy disk.
For example, MX4B533102.BIN & MX4B533102.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:> MX4B533102 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.
