To update the BIOS using EZ Flash 2:

1.  Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) to download the latest BIOS file for 

the motherboard.

2.  Save the BIOS file to a floppy disk or a USB flash disk, then restart the 

system.

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 2 utility is built in the BIOS chip so it is accessible by pressing 

<Alt> + <F2> during the Power-On Self Tests (POST). 

(2)  Enter BIOS setup program. Go to the Tools menu to select EZ Flash 2 

and press <Enter> to enable it.

 

You can switch between drives by pressing <Tab> before the correct file 

is found. Then press <Enter>.

3.  You can launch the EZ Flash 2 by two methods.

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

floppy disk drive or the USB port. 

 

Press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the following.

•  This function can support devices such as a USB flash disk or a floppy disk 

with FAT 32/16 format and single partition only.

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

system boot failure!

4.  When the correct BIOS file is found, EZ Flash 2 performs the BIOS update 

process and automatically reboots the system when done.
