Updating BIOS Procedures

1. Create a bootable system floppy disk and prepare a blank floppy disk.
2. Download the BIOS package (WinZip format with .zip file extension), unzip
and save it to the blank floppy disk and you should see ASRUBIOS.EXE,
ASRFLASH.BIN, UCODE.DAT, BIOS file, and README.TXT.
3. Boot from the disk you created in step 1 then switch to the floppy disk
you created in step 2.
4. At the "A:\" prompt, type ASRUBIOS, hit space bar once, and type BIOS
file name then press <Enter>. For example: A:\ASRUBIOS P4i65GV2.00 <Enter>
then you will see a message "Please wait for loading BIOS ROM".
5. After about 1 minute, you will see the message "Flash ROM Update
Completed - Pass", then you have finished upgrading the BIOS.
6. After finishing upgrading the BIOS, please remove the floppy disk.
Restart your system and press <F2> to enter the BIOS setup utility during
boot up.
7. In Exit menu, please select "Load Default Settings" and press <Enter> to
continue.
8. Select "Exit Saving Changes" and press <Enter> to exit the BIOS setup
utility.
9. Now, system is booting up with new BIOS.
