ezBIOS—Motherboard Shield and Upgrade
Utility
ezBIOS—One Click is All it Takes!
Transcend is proud to inform you that your new motherboard comes with ezBIOS from Transcend.
This BIOS updating program developed by Transcend will make BIOS updating easy, and
enhance the security and stability of systems built with your Transcend motherboard.
ezBIOS Features:
•
Anti-Virus BIOS Protection – Transcend’s motherboards come with a new hardware
monitoring function that can prevent any unauthorized BIOS updating caused by
viruses. Only ezBIOS, the BIOS updating program developed by Transcend, can
update a Transcend motherboard.
•
BIOS Updating Confidence – Beyond preventing viruses, ezBIOS allows BIOS
updating with confidence. In the past, any failure or incorrect operation during BIOS
updating could crash the whole system. Normally the user wouldn’t have the capability
to retrieve and reestablish the system, they could only return the computer to the
supplier for costly, time-consuming repairs. With the enhanced security of ezBIOS,
Transcend’s motherboards can completely avoid these problems. No matter what
happens during BIOS updating, the user’s system can still boot from the floppy drive,
allowing the updating command to be executed again.
•
One-Click, On-Line BIOS Updating – For users of Windows 95/98, ezBIOS allows
you to use Transcend’s innovative on-line updating technology. Just one click can
detect the BIOS version of your system, download the latest version, and execute all
the updating commands automatically from the Internet. Restarting the computer
completes the BIOS updating. This feature should be very handy for users who need
to update BIOS repeatedly, especially MIS staff. The on-line updating program is
included on the drivers CD-ROM included in the box with your motherboard. Following
the step-by-step instructions, you can easily update or backup your BIOS. (If you
have a different OS, see “Chapter 4 BIOS Upgrade” for your BIOS updating
procedure.)
•
Linear Overclocking – ezBIOS also provides a linear overclocking function. Users
can fine-tune the Front Side Bus (FSB) by increasing or reducing it by as little as
1.0MHz to find the optimum FSB setting for the system. (For details see “Frequency/
Voltage Control” in Chapter 3.) Should the FSB be set too high, the system can be
returned to the default setting by pressing the “INS” key.
