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 ﬂoppy 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-Test (POST).

To update the BIOS using EZ Flash:

1.Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) to download the latest BIOS ﬁle for the motherboard and rename the ﬁle as P5GVMX.ROM.

2.Save the BIOS ﬁle to a ﬂoppy disk, then restart the system.

3.Press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the following.

4.Insert the ﬂoppy disk that contains the BIOS ﬁle to the ﬂoppy disk drive. When the correct BIOS ﬁle is found, EZ Flash performs the BIOS update process and automatically reboots the system when done.

Flashed successfully. Rebooting.

•DO NOT shutdown or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent system boot failure!

•A “Floppy not found!” error message appears if there is no ﬂoppy disk in the drive. A “P5GVMX.ROM not found!” error message appears if the correct BIOS ﬁle is not found in the ﬂoppy disk. Make sure that you rename the BIOS ﬁle as P5GVMX.ROM.
