SUPER X5DL8-GG/X5DLR-8G2+/X5DLR-8G2 User’s Manual
find the readme.txt (flash instructions), the flash.bat (BIOS flash utility) and
the BIOS image (xxxxxx.rom) files. Copy these files onto a bootable floppy
and reboot your system. It is not necessary to set BIOS boot block protec-
tion jumpers on the motherboard. At the DOS prompt, enter the command
"flash." This will start the flash utility and give you an opportunity to save
your current BIOS image. Flash the boot block and enter the name of the
update BIOS image file.
Note: It is important to save your current BIOS and rename it
"super.rom" in case you need to recover from a failed BIOS update.
Select flash boot block, then enter the update BIOS image. Select "Y" to
start the BIOS flash procedure and do not disturb your system until the
flash utility displays that the procedure is complete. After updating your
BIOS, please clear the CMOS then load Optimal Values in the BIOS.
Question: After flashing the BIOS my system does not have video.

the saved BIOS image file (see above FAQ) in drive A. Press and hold
<CTRL> and <Home> at the same time, then turn on the power with these
keys pressed until your floppy drive starts reading. Your screen will re-

then the recovery was successful. The BIOS Recovery Procedure will not
update the boot block in your BIOS.

that will greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the
CD and install the applications you need. Applications on the CD include
chipset drivers for Windows and security drivers.
Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary
power on/off switch?
Answer: The instant power off function is controlled in BIOS by the Power
Button Mode setting. When the On/Off feature is enabled, the motherboard
will have instant off capabilities as long as the BIOS has control of the
system. When the Standby or Suspend feature is enabled or when the
