BIOS information
2.1 Managing and updating your BIOS
It is recommended that you save a copy of the motherboard’s original BIOS to
a bootable floppy disk in case you need to reinstall the original BIOS later.
Write down the BIOS file name on a piece of paper. You need to type the exact
BIOS file name at the EZ Flash screen.
The BIOS information in the above screen is for reference only. What you see
on your screen may not be exactly the same as shown.
4. Insert the disk that contains the new BIOS file into the floppy drive. You will
receive the error message, “WARNING! Device not ready.” if you proceed to
step 5 without the disk in the drive.
If you accidentally typed in a wrong BIOS file name, the error message,
“WARNING! File not found.” appears. Press <Enter> to remove the
message, then type in the correct file name. Press <Enter>.
6. At the above prompt, type Y to continue with the update process. Pressing N
exits the EZ Flash screen and reboots the system without updating the BIOS.
The following prompts appear if you typed Y.
DO NOT shutdown or reset the system while updating the BIOS area! Doing so
may cause system boot failure.
8. When the update process is done, the message, “Press a key to reboot”
appears. Press any key to reboot the system with the new BIOS.
1. Type FORMAT A:/S at the DOS prompt to create a bootable system disk. DO
NOT copy AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to the disk.
2. Type COPY D:\AFLASH\AFLASH.EXE A:\ (assuming D is your CD-ROM drive)
to copy AFLASH.EXE to the boot disk you created.
AFLASH works only in DOS mode. It does not work in the DOS prompt within
Windows, and does not work with certain memory drivers that may be loaded
when you boot from the hard drive. It is recommended that you reboot using a
floppy disk.
BIOS setup must specify “Floppy” as the first item in the boot sequence.
If the word “unknown” appears after Flash Memory:, the memory chip is either
not programmable or is not supported by the ACPI BIOS and therefore, cannot
be programmed by the Flash Memory Writer utility.
6. Type a filename and the path, for example, A:\XXX-XX.XXX, then press
<Enter>.
Update the BIOS only if you have problems with the motherboard and you are
sure that the new BIOS revision will solve your problems. Careless updating
may result to more problems with the motherboard!
1. Download an updated ASUS BIOS file from the Internet (WWW or FTP) (see
ASUS CONTACT INFORMATION on page viii for details) and save to the boot
floppy disk you created earlier.
2. Boot from the floppy disk.
3. At the “A:\” prompt, type AFLASH and then press <Enter>.
4. At the Main Menu, type 2 then press <Enter>. The Update BIOS Including Boot
Block and ESCD screen appears.
5. Type the filename of your new BIOS and the path, for example, A:\XXX-
XX.XXX, then press <Enter>.
To cancel this operation, press <Enter>.
7. The utility starts to program the new BIOS information into the Flash ROM. The
boot block is updated automatically only when necessary. This minimizes the
possibility of boot problems in case of update failures. When the programming
is done, the message “Flashed Successfully” appears.
If you encounter problems while updating the new BIOS, DO NOT turn off the
system because this may cause boot problems. Just repeat the process, and if
the problem persists, load the original BIOS file you saved to the boot disk. If
the Flash Memory Writer utility is not able to successfully update a complete
BIOS file, the system may not boot. If this happens, call the ASUS service
center for support.
1. You must have a bootable floppy disk ready before updating the BIOS.
2. The bootable floppy disk could be the one that you created following the
procedure in section 2.1.2, and should contain the AFLASH.EXE utility.
3. If the BIOS fails (ROM data or codes are corrupted), a message appears
during POST indicating the failure.
1. Turn on the computer, and when prompted, place the bootable floppy disk into
the floppy drive, so that the computer boots from the floppy disk.
2. Follow the BIOS update procedure in section “2.1.2 Using AFLASH to update
the BIOS.”
To use the CrashFree BIOS feature on this motherboard, install a VGA card into
one of the expansion slots before rebooting the computer. On motherboards
with onboard VGA, such as the P4S533-MX, you will not see the screen display
when the BIOS crashes even if you reboot the computer.
General help
In addition to the Item Specific Help window, the BIOS setup program also
provides a General Help screen. You may launch this screen from any menu by
simply pressing <F1> or the <Alt> + <H> combination. The General Help screen
lists the legend keys and their corresponding functions.
Saving changes and exiting the Setup program
See “2.7 Exit Menu” for detailed information on saving changes and exiting the
setup program.
Scroll bar
When a scroll bar appears to the right of a help window, it indicates that there is
more information to be displayed that will not fit in the window. Use <PgUp> and
<PgDn> or the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the entire help document.
Press <Home> to display the first page, press <End> to go to the last page. To exit
the help window, press <Enter> or <Esc>.
Type [Auto]
Select [Auto] to automatically detect an IDE hard disk drive. If automatic detection
