X9SPV Motherboard Series User's Manual

BIOS warning message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our

web site. Select your motherboard model and download the BIOS (.rom) le to

your computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision and make sure that it is

newer than your BIOS before downloading. You may choose the zip le or the

.exe le. If you choose the zipped BIOS le, please unzip the BIOS le onto a

bootable device or a USB pen/thumb drive. To ash the BIOS, run the batch

le named "ami.bat" with the new BIOS ROM le from your bootable device or

USB pen/thumb drive. Use the following format:

F:\> ami.bat BIOS-RO M-lename.xxx <Enter>

Notes: Always use the le named “ami.bat” to update the BIOS and insert

a space b etween "ami.bat " and the lename. The BIOS-ROM -lename will

bear the motherboard name (i.e., X9SCV) and bu ild date as the extension. For

example, "X9SCV0.526".

When completed, your system will automatically reboot. If you choose the .exe

le, please run the .exe le under Windows to create the BIOS ash oppy disk.

Insert the oppy disk into the system you wish to ash the BIOS. Then, boot

the system to the oppy disk. The BIOS utility will automatically ash the BIOS

without any prompts. Please note that this process may take a few minutes

to complete. Do not be concerned if the screen is paused for a few minutes.

Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating t he BIOS

to prevent possible system boot failure!
