Please set the first boot sequence as “floppy” in BIOS and boot off the floppy disk.
7. Flash the BIOS in pure DOS mode.
After successfully booting off of the floppy, execute the flash utility according to these instructions.
Note
We strongly recommend you use the above parameters following “awdflash” to flash your BIOS. DO
NOT just type “awdflash se6_sw.bin” without the above parameters following the .bin file.
Note
The Award flash utility can’t be completed under a Windows
®
95/98 or Windows
®
NT environment,
you must be in a pure DOS environment.
You should check which BIOS file is to be used with your motherboard, don't flash with the wrong
BIOS file. Otherwise, you may cause system malfunctions.
Note
Please do not use the Award flash memory writer version that earlier than Version 7.52C to flash your
SD7-533 motherboard BIOS. Otherwise, it may cause flash fail or un-anticipate problems.
Note
During the updating, the progress will be measured by white blocks. The last four blue blocks of the
flash update process represent the “BIOS boot block”. The BIOS boot block is used to prevent the
BIOS from becoming corrupt during programming. It should not be programmed every time. If this
“BIOS boot block” remains intact when the BIOS becomes corrupt during programming, then you
can boot from a bootable floppy next time you boot your computer. This allows you to flash your
BIOS again without the need for technical support from the dealer.
