BIOS Update Guide E-1

Appendix E. BIOS Update Guide

The procedure illustrated here is based on the model SE6 as an example; all other models follow the same

process.

1. First, find out the model name and version number of this motherboard. You can find a bar-code

sticker typed with model name and version number on motherboard PCB.

2. Find out the current BIOS ID. For example, in this case, the current BIOS ID is [00]. If you already

have the latest BIOS, no any update action is necessary. If your BIOS is not the latest BIOS, go on to

the next step.

3. Download the correct BIOS file from our Web site.

4. Double click the downloaded file, it will self-extract

to [awdflash.exe] and [*.bin] files.

5. Make a bootable floppy disk and copy the necessary

files onto it. You may make a floppy disk bootable

either in Explorer or in the DOS prompt mode.

[c:\]format a: /s

After formatting and transferring the system to the

floppy disk, copy two files into it. One is the BIOS

flash utility [awdflash.exe] and the other is the

decompressed BIOS binary [*.bin] file.
