IV. BIOS SOFTWARE

Support Software

AFLASH.EXE: This is the Flash Memory Writer utility that updates the BIOS by uploading

a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM chip on the motherboard. To determine the

BIOS version of your motherboard, check the last four numbers of the code displayed on the

upper left-hand corner of your screen during bootup. Larger numbers represent a newer BIOS

file. This file works only in DOS mode.

NOTE: The following screen displays are provided as examples only and may not reflect the

screen contents displayed on your system.

Flash Memory Writer Utility

Main Menu

1. Save Current BIOS To File

This option allows you to save a

copy of the original motherboard

BIOS in case you need to reinstall

it. It is recommended that you save

AFLASH.EXE and the BIOS file

to a bootable floppy disk.

IMPORTANT! If “unknown” is displayed after Flash Memory:, the memory chip is

either not programmable or is not supported by the ACPI BIOS and therefore, cannot be

programmed by the Flash Memory Writer utility.

To save your current BIOS, type [1] at the Main Menu and then press <Enter>. The Save

Current BIOS To File screen appears. Type a filename and the path, for example, A:\440XX-

1 and then press <Enter>.
