(1) Insert the floppy disk/USB flash disk that contains the BIOS file to

the floppy disk drive or the USB port.

The ASUS EZ Flash 2 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 Tests

(POST).

• This function can support devices such as USB flash disk, hard disk,

or floppy disk with FAT32/16/12FAT32/16/12

FAT32/16/12FAT32/16/12

FAT32/16/12 format only.

• Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to

prevent system boot failure!
