Utility Installation Notes
Award Flash Memory Utility
This utility lets you erase the system BIOS that is stored on the system motherboard
on a Flash Memory chip, and lets you write a new or updated BIOS onto the chip.
Take care how you use this program. If you erase the current BIOS and fail to write a
new BIOS, or write a new BIOS that is unsuitable, your system will malfunction.
The flash memory utility is called AWDFLASH.EXE. To use this utility, you must be
in real-mode DOS (not the DOS box that is available in Windows 95/98/NT). If you
are using WINDOWS 95/98, shut down your computer and select the option Restart in
DOS in the shut-down dialog box. If you are running Windows NT, shut down your
computer and boot from a DOS diskette temporarily in order to run the flash memory
utility.
DirectX5 Drivers
The DirectX drivers are for installation only in Windows 95/98. The directX drivers
need to be installed before you install an AGP driver. You may be able to get more up-
to-date directX drivers from the Microsoft web site. Start the installation by clicking
on the file DX5CORE.EXE.
PC-Cillin Anti-Virus Utility
Anti-virus software is provided for DOS, for WIN95, and WIN 98. Log on to the
appropriate directory for your operating system. For DOS, copy all the files in the
DOS folder to your hard disk drive. For Windows 95, log on to the Disk 1 folder and
run SETUP. For Windows 98, run SETUP.
