2.1.2 ASUS EZ Flash utility
The ASUS EZ Flash feature allows you to update the BIOS without having to go
through the long process of booting from a oppy disk and using a DOS-based
utility. The EZ Flash utility is built-in the BIOS chip so it is accessible by pressing
<Alt> + <F2> during the Power-On Self Tests (POST).
To update the BIOS using EZ Flash:
1. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) to download the latest BIOS le for the
motherboard and rename the same to P5GCVM.ROM.
2. Save the BIOS le to a oppy disk, then restart the system.
3. Press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the following.

Checking for oppy...
4. Insert the oppy disk that contains the BIOS le to the oppy disk drive. When
the correct BIOS le is found, EZ Flash performs the BIOS update process and
automatically reboots the system when done.
