Upgrading the BIOS to a New Version
Step 1:
Make a note of the initial or existing BIOS setup parameters. Press the DEL key
during the power-on self test to run the Setup program and make a note of all the
parameter values. This will allow you to reconfigure the system correctly after
updating the BIOS.
Step 2:
Create a system disk. Insert the system disk (3.5 inch disk) in drive A. In DOS,
enter "format a:/s", then press the ENTER key. In Windows, select My Computer,
click on the 3.5 inch floppy (A:), then select File/Format from the menu. Select
"Format 3.5 Inch Floppy (A:) ", select "Copy System Files", then click the [Start]
button.
Step 3:
Copy the updated BIOS bin file and awdflash.exe onto the system disk.
Step 4:
Insert the system disk in drive A and reboot the computer from drive A.
Step 5:
Start the BIOS update. Entering the [awdflash] command displays "Flash Memory
Writer" on the screen. Enter the name of the updated BIOS file in response to the
"Program file name:" prompt and enter the name of the file in which to save a backup
of the old BIOS in response to the "Save file name:" prompt. Next, press [Y] to start
the BIOS update.
Step 6:
Reconfigure the system. Remove the system disk and reboot the computer. Press
the DEL key during the power-on self test to run the Setup program. Reset all the
parameters based on your notes of the original settings. Save the BIOS settings, exit
Setup, and reboot the system.
