2.1.4. Updating.the.BIOS
The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) can be updated using the AwardBIOS
Flash Utility. Follow these instructions to update the BIOS using this utility.
1. Download the latest BIOS file from the ASUS web site. Rename the file to
M2N-VMSE.BIN and save it to a floppy disk, CD ROM or a USB flash disk in
FAT 16/12 format.
Save only the updated BIOS file in the floppy disk to avoid loading the wrong
BIOS file.
2. Copy the AwardBIOS Flash Utility (awdflash.exe) from the Software folder of
the support CD to the floppy disk, CD ROM or a USB flash disk with the latest
BIOS file.
3. Boot the system in DOS mode using the bootable floppy disk, CD ROM or a
USB flash disk you created earlier.
4. Under the DOS mode,
use <X:> (X stands for
the name of the disk
assignment) to switch to
the folder of the floppy
disk, CD ROM or USB
flash disk you saved the
BIOS file and the Award
BIOS Flash Utility.
5. At the prompt, type awdflash then press <Enter>. The Award BIOS
Flash Utility screen appears.
6. Type the BIOS file name
in the File Name to
Program field, then press
<Enter>.
