2.1.4 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 floppy disk and
using a DOS-based utility. The EZ Flash is built-in the BIOS LPC chip 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 system builder website to download the latest BIOS file for your
motherboard and rename it to
K8V-MX.ROM
. Save the BIOS file to a floppy disk.
2. Reboot the system.
3.
T
o launch EZ Flash, press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the following.
4. Insert the floppy disk that contains the BIOS file. If the
K8V-MX.ROM
file is
found in the floppy disk, EZ Flash performs the BIOS update process and
automatically reboots the system when done.
DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS! Doing so can
cause system boot failure!
