2.1.3 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).

To update the BIOS using ASUS EZ Flash:

1. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) to download the latest BIOS file for

your motherboard and rename it to P4P8X.ROM. Save the BIOS file to a

floppy disk.

2. Reboot the system.

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

4. Insert the floppy disk that contains the BIOS file. If the P4P8X.ROM file is

found in the floppy disk, EZ Flash performs the BIOS update process and

automatically reboots the system when done.

DO NOT shutdown or reset the system while updating the BIOS! Doing so may

cause system boot failure!
