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 file from the ASUS web site. Rename the file to
M2N-SLI.BIN and save it to a floppy disk.
Save only the updated BIOS file in the floppy disk to avoid loading the wrong
BIOS file.
2. Copy the AwardBIOS Flash Utility (awdflash.exe) from the Software folder
of the support CD to the floppy disk with the latest BIOS file.
3. Boot the system in DOS mode using the bootable floppy disk you created
earlier.
4. When the A:> appears, replace the bootable floppy disk with the floppy
disk containing the new BIOS file and the Award BIOS Flash Utility.
5. At the prompt, type awdflash
then press <Enter>. The
Award BIOS Flash Utility
screen appears.
