4-5 BIOS Upgrade
• System BIOS is incorporated into a Flash memory component of the
mainboard. Flash BIOS allows user to upgrade BIOS without the need to
replace an EPROM component.
• The upgrade utility can be loaded on a floppy diskette and used to provides
the capability to save, verify, and update the system BIOS. The upgrade
utility can be run from a hard disk drive or a network drive.

• It is highly recommended that you save a copy of the original mainboard
BIOS along with a Flash EPROM Programming utility (AWDFLASH.EXE)
to a bootable floppy disk in case you need to reinstall the BIOS later.

“AWDFLASH.EXE” is a Flash EPROM Programming utility that updates the
BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM on the
mainboard, This program only works in
DOS environment only, the utility
can not be executed in win95/98, ME, NT or WINDOWS 2000 environment.
Upgrading the system BIOS

award flash utility “AWDFLASH.EXE”. The BIOS file format will be *.bin, of
which “*” stands for the specific file name.
Step 2. Create a bootable diskette. Then copy the BIOS file and award flash utility
“AWDFLASH.EXE” into the diskette.
Step 3. Insert the diskette into drive A, reboot your system and boot form the
