BIOS Upgrade Instructions



FLASH Memory provides a convenient way to update a system BIOS. When a manufacturer of a system updates the BIOS for a particular class of systems, a floppy disk can be obtained containing the source code for this new BIOS as well as a utility that will upgrade the ROM chip to this new BIOS.


IMPORTANT!


Extreme care must be taken when updating the system BIOS. If an incorrect BIOS source code is used to update the ROM chip, the system may refuse to boot. Please follow carefully the procedures outlined below. If in doubt, consult a qualified technician or call your local vendor.



The following outlines the AMI BIOS FLASH Memory updating procedure:
1.Copy amiflash.exe and ai5tv7.bin files to a floppy disk.
2.Restart your computer in DOS mode or with a bootable floppy disk that does not have config.sys and autoexec.bat files. (Make sure that memory managers such as QEMM386, EMM386 OR 386MAX are not loaded. Flash Memory utilities do not work under protected or virtual mode.
3.Insert the floppy disk that contains amiflash.exe and ai5tv7.bin files in the floppy drive A.
4.From the C:\ prompt, type "A:" to change to the A drive.
5.Type "AMIFLASH" and then press ENTER. The AMI Flash Memory Writer Screen will now appear.
6.A prompt will be given to type in a file name. Type in the new BIOS source code's full file name, including the file extension.
7.You will be prompted with the message; "Do you want to save BIOS?" To save the existing BIOS, type "Y" for yes and enter a file name to save the BIOS to. Otherwise type "N" for no.
8.Next, you will be prompted with the message, "Are you sure to program?" Type in "Y" to begin the BIOS updating process. When the updating process has finished, there will be a prompt to reset the system, otherwise type "N". The Flash Utility will automatically terminate.


Caution


After upgrading the BIOS and entering the BIOS Utility Setup you may be prompted to enter a password. If this occurs the following procedure should be followed. Turn-off your computer. Locate the jumper on the motherboard labeled "CLR CMOS". (Refer to the manual if necessary) Place the jumper-block, so that it shorts the two-pins. Turn-on your computer for approximately two to five seconds then turn-off your computer. Place the jumper-block to normal operation then reboot your computer.
