Updating BIOS
The EZ Flash feature allows you to easily update the BIOS. The EZ Flash feature is
built in the BIOS firmware so it is accessible by simply pressing Alt + F2 during the
Power-On Self Tests (POST).
To update the BIOS with EZ Flash, proceed as follows:
1. Consult our Web site at the following address: http://www.nec-online.com to
download the latest BIOS file for your motherboard and rename it to
P4C800EI.ROM. Save the BIOS file on a floppy disk.
2. Reboot the system.
3. To launch EZ Flash, press Alt + F2 during POST to display the following:
Note: If there is no floppy disk found in the drive, the
message ‘Floppy not found!’ displays.
If the correct BIOS file is not found in the floppy disk, the error
message ‘P4C800EI.ROM not found!’ displays.
4. Insert the floppy disk that contains the BIOS file. If the P4C800EI.ROM file is
found in the floppy disk, EZ Flash performs the BIOS update process and
automatically reboots the system when done.
Caution
Do not shutdown or reset the system while updating the BIOS!
Doing so may cause system boot failure!
