The ASUS EZ Flash 2 feature allows you to update the BIOS without having
to go through the long process of booting from a floppy disk and using a
DOS-based utility. The EZ Flash utility is built-in the BIOS chip so it is
accessible by pressing <Alt> + <F2> during the Power-On Self Tests
(POST).
This function can support devices such as USB flash disk, hard disk,
or floppy disk with
FAT32/16/12FAT32/16/12
FAT32/16/12FAT32/16/12
FAT32/16/12 format only.
Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to
prevent system boot failure!
