2.1.4 Updating the BIOS
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. Download the latest BIOS le from the ASUS web site. Rename the le to
M2NBPVM.bin and save it to a oppy disk, CD ROM or a USB ash disk in
FAT 16/12 format
.
Save only the updated BIOS le in the oppy disk to avoid loading the wrong
BIOS le.

the support CD to the oppy disk, CD ROM or a USB ash disk with the latest
BIOS le.
3. Boot the system in DOS mode using the bootable oppy disk, CD ROM or a
USB ash disk you created earlier.
4. Under the DOS mode, use

of the disk assignment) to
switch to the folder of the
oppy disk, CD ROM or
USB ash disk you saved
the BIOS le and the Award
BIOS Flash Utility.
5. At the prompt, type
awdash
then press
