2.1.4 Updating the BIOS
The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) can be updated using the AwardBIOS
Flash Utility. Follow these instructions to update the BIOS using this utility.
1. Download the latest BIOS le from the ASUS web site. Rename the le to
M2NPV-VM.BIN and save it to a oppy disk, CD ROM or a USB ash disk in
FAT 16/12 format.
Save only the updated BIOS le in the oppy disk to avoid loading the wrong
BIOS le.
2. Copy the AwardBIOS Flash Utility (awdash.exe) from the Software folder of
the support CD to the oppy disk, CD ROM or a USB ash disk with the latest
BIOS le.
3. Boot the system in DOS mode using the bootable oppy disk, CD ROM or a
USB ash disk you created earlier.
4. Under the DOS mode, use <X:> (X stands for the name of the disk
assignment) to switch to the folder of the oppy disk, CD ROM or USB ash
disk you saved the BIOS le and the Award BIOS Flash Utility.
5. At the prompt, type
awdash then press
<Enter>. The Award BIOS
Flash Utility screen
appears.

name in the File Name
