AMI FLASH BIOS INSTRUCTIONS (1) It is important to have the system boot cleanly before executing a flash bios upgrade since it should not be run under any protected mode environments. The best way to do this is to create a bootable floppy disk i.e. "Format a: /s" (in dos) or use the Windows95 startup disk utility START>SETTINGS>CONTROL PANEL>ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS>STARTUP DISK. (2) Download the Flash BIOS update utility from our bios revision web page. (3) Uncompress this file with the pkunzip.exe utility and you should see some new files appearing on your harddrive. Copy these new files onto your bootable disk. (4) Reboot your system with this bootable floppy disk in your A: drive. (You might have to change the boot up sequence (in BIOS setup) from C:A: to A:C: before reboot.) (5) After bootup, run the program (.com) file from the floppy disk.ÿ Make sure you are running the flash program that came with your flash bios upgrade package file. (6) Enter the name of the bios file (.rom) that is located on your boot disk. (7) Press "Y" to continue and it should tell you that it is "Programming Flash Eprom - Please Wait." (8) When completed it will give you a flash successful message and ask you to hit any key to reboot.ÿ Hit any key and the system should hang with no pictures on the screen.ÿ You will need to "cold boot" (turn off the power, wait and turn on the system again) your system for the new bios to take effect.
