How to upgrade the Flash BIOS?
The setup program on the Flash BIOS chip holds basic information on your system.
Normally you do not need to access it, since all hardware settings are automatically
recognized by default.

BIOS. Incorrect installation of the Flash BIOS might cause you system to
malfunction. If you are not familiar with this procedure, contact a certified technician

support CD to the diskette.
5. At the DOS prompt, generate the auto execute command:
Awdfl711 [binary_file_name] /sn /py
6. Make sure the diskette is in the drive, then restart the system.
7. As the system restarts, it will automatically upgrade the Flash BIOS. Follow the
