The ASUS EZ Flash 2 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 2 utility is built-in the BIOS chip so it is
accessible by pressing <Alt> + <F2> during the Power-On Self-Test (POST).
(2) Enter BIOS setup program. Go to the Tools menu to select EZ
Flash2 and press <Enter> to enable it.
You can switch between drives by pressing <Tab> before the
correct le is found. Then press <Enter>.
3. You can launch the EZ Flash 2 by two methods.
(1) Insert the oppy disk / USB ash disk that contains the BIOS le
to the oppy disk drive or the USB port.
Press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the following.
This function can support devices such as USB ash disk, or oppy
disk with FAT 32/16 format only.
Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to
prevent system boot failure!
4. When the correct BIOS file is found, EZ Flash 2 performs the BIOS
update process and automatically reboots the system when done.
