4.1 Managing and updating your BIOS

4.1.1 Using ASUS EZ Flash to update the BIOS

The ASUS EZ Flash feature allows you to easily update the BIOS without

having to go through the long process of booting from a diskette and using

a DOS-based utility. The EZ Flash is built-in the BIOS firmware so it is

accessible by simply pressing <Alt> + <F2> during the Power-On Self

Tests (POST).

Follow these steps to update the BIOS using ASUS EZ Flash.

1. Download the latest BIOS file from the ASUS website (see ASUS

contact information on page x). Save the file to a floppy disk.

2. Reboot the computer.

3. To use EZ Flash, press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the

following screen.

4. Insert the disk that contains the new BIOS file into the floppy drive. You

will receive the error message,

“WARNING! Device not ready.” if you

proceed to step 5 without the disk in the drive.
