2.1.3 CrashFree BIOS feature

The CrashFree BIOS feature allows you to boot the computer from a floppy disk

and update the BIOS in case the original BIOS fails or gets corrupted.

To update the BIOS:

1. Turn on the computer, and when prompted, place the bootable floppy disk into

the floppy drive, so that the computer boots from the floppy disk.

2. Follow the BIOS update procedure in section “2.1.2 Using AFLASH to update

the BIOS.”

1. You must have a bootable floppy disk ready before updating the BIOS.

2. The bootable floppy disk could be the one that you created following the

procedure in section 2.1.2, and should contain the AFLASH.EXE utility.

3. If the BIOS fails (ROM data or codes are corrupted), a message appears

during POST indicating the failure.

To use the CrashFree BIOS feature on this motherboard, install a VGA card into

one of the expansion slots before rebooting the computer. On motherboards

with onboard VGA, such as the P4S533-MX, you will not see the screen display

when the BIOS crashes even if you reboot the computer.
