Chapter 2: BIOS information

1. Download an updated ASUS BIOS file from the Internet (www.asus.com), then

save the file to the bootable floppy disk you created earlier.

2. Copy the AFUDOS.EXE utility from the support CD to the bootable floppy disk

that contains the BIOS file.

3. Boot the system from the floppy disk.

Update the BIOS only if you are sure that updating revision will solve your

problems. Careless updating may result to more problems with the

motherboard!
