ASUS P5LD2 SE 4-7
4.1.4 ASUS EZ F lash uti lity
The ASUS EZ Flash feature allows you to update the BIOS without having
to go through the long process of booting from a oppy 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-Test (POST).
To update the BIOS using EZ Flash:
1. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) to download the latest BIOS
le for the motherboard and rename the le as P5LD2-SE.ROM.
2. Save the BIOS le to a oppy disk, then restart the system.
3. Press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the following.
EZFlash starting BIOS update
Checking for oppy...
4. Insert the oppy disk that contains the BIOS le to the oppy disk
drive. When the correct BIOS le is found, EZ Flash performs the BIOS
update process and automatically reboots the system when done.

Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to
prevent system boot failure!
A “Floppy not found!” error message appears if there is no oppy
disk in the drive. A “P5LD2-SE.ROM not found!” error message
appears if the correct BIOS le is not found in the oppy disk. Make
sure that you rename the BIOS le as P5LD2‑SE.ROM.
