IV. BIOS SOFTWARE

Flash Memory Writer Utility

This motherboard comes with a diskette which contains the following files:

README.TXT

A Readme text file containing information about the utility. To access or print out

the contents of this file, you can use any text editor program.

DMICFG.EXE

Desktop Management Interface Utility. See section V for basic instructions.

T25Ixxxx.AWD

A BIOS file for this motherboard. xxxx here is a 4-digit version number; larger

values denote newer BIOS versions, while smaller numbers denote older versions.

PFLASH.EXE

This is the Flash Memory Writer utility. The Flash Memory Writer utility updates

the BIOS by uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM chip on the

motherboard. This BIOS file is included in the support diskette, and may be newer

than the BIOS on the motherboard. To determine whether or not the provided BIOS

file is newer than the current motherboard BIOS, compare the diskette's BIOS file

name with the last four numbers of the code displayed on the upper left-hand corner

of your screen during bootup. If the number of the BIOS file in the support diskette

is larger, continue with this section to reprogram the motherboard BIOS. If the

number is smaller, do not continue with this Flash Memory Writer section.

Before reprogramming the motherboard BIOS, you must first:

1. Enable "Boot Block Programming" (see page 12).

2. Make sure the system is running in real mode. This utility will not operate if

the system is under protected mode or virtual mode. This means that you

cannot reprogram the motherboard BIOS under the Windows environment or

with any memory management software, including HIMEM.SYS. If you have

any memory management software running, disable them first. The following

describes the easiest way to ensure that your system memory is free from these

programs:
