You may update the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) using the built-in Award
BIOS Flash utility or using a bootable floppy disk with the executable Award BIOS
Flash utility (AWDFLASH.EXE). Follow these instructions to update the BIOS using
this utility.
1. Download the latest BIOS file from the ASUS website (www.asus.com). Rename
the file to *.BIN, then save it to the bootable floppy disk you created earlier.
2. Insert the disk that contains the new BIOS file to the floppy drive.
5. AWDFLASH checks the new BIOS file on the floppy disk.
6. After verification, AWDFLASH flashes the new BIOS file. Do not shut down the
computer during the flash process.
7. The computer returns to POST after the new BIOS file is copied.
Save only the updated BIOS file in the floppy disk to avoid loading a
wrong BIOS file.
3. Reboot the computer.
4. Press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the following screen.
