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 P5VD2MX.BIN and save it to a oppy disk.
Save only the updated BIOS le in the oppy disk to avoid loading the
wrong BIOS le.

folder of the support CD to the oppy disk with the latest BIOS le.
3. Boot the system in DOS mode using the bootable oppy disk you
created earlier.

oppy disk containing the new BIOS le and the Award BIOS Flash
Utility.

awdash then press
<Enter>. The Award
BIOS Flash Utility screen
