5.1.3 Award BIOS Flash Utility
The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) can be updated using the
AwardBIOS Flash Utility. Follow these instructions to update the BIOS using
this utility.
1. Obtain the latest BIOS le from the ASUS web site or the support CD.
Normally the le name is *.BIN. Save it to a oppy disk.
Save only the updated BIOS le in the oppy disk to avoid loading the
wrong BIOS le.

with the latest BIOS le.
3. Boot the system in DOS mode using the bootable oppy disk you
created earlier.
4. When the A:> appears, replace the bootable oppy disk with the
oppy disk containing the new BIOS le and the Award BIOS Flash
Utility.

awdash then press
<Enter>. The Award
BIOS Flash Utility screen
appears.
