find the readme.txt (flash instructions), the flash.bat (BIOS flash utility) and the BIOS image (xxxxxx.rom) files. Copy these files onto a bootable floppy and reboot your system. It is not necessary to set BIOS boot block protec- tion jumpers on the motherboard. At the DOS prompt, enter the command "flash." This will start the flash utility and give you an opportunity to save your current BIOS image. Flash the boot block and enter the name of the update BIOS image file.

Note: It is important to save your current BIOS and rename it "super.rom" in case you need to recover from a failed BIOS update. Select flash boot block, then enter the update BIOS image. Select "Y" to start the BIOS flash procedure and do not disturb your system until the flash utility displays that the procedure is complete.

First, turn your system off and place the floppy disk with the saved BIOS image file (see above FAQ) in drive A. Press and hold <CTRL> and <Home> at the same time, then turn on the power with these keys pressed until your floppy drive starts reading. Your screen will re- main blank until the BIOS program is done. If the system reboots correctly, then the recovery was successful. The BIOS Recovery Procedure will not update the boot block in your BIOS.

Question: What's on the CD that came with my motherboard?

Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary power on/off switch?

Answer: The instant power off function is controlled in BIOS by the Power Button Mode setting. When the On/Off feature is enabled, the motherboard will have instant off capabilities as long as the BIOS has control of the system. When the Standby or Suspend feature is enabled or when the
