BIOS Update Instructions

There are two ways in which we recommend to flash the BIOS.
They will be termed as follows:

. The ALT+F2 Method
. The Boot Disk Method

The ALT+F2 method may not be available on older mainboards with older
BIOS, in such cases it is necessary to carry out the Boot Disk Method.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The ALT+F2 Method

1. Download the required BIOS image file from the EPoX website.

2. Copy or extract the BIOS image file (named xxxxxxxx.bin) to a blank
floppy disk with no bad sectors on it.

3. Restart the machine with the floppy disk in the floppy drive
When prompted at machine initialization, press ALT+F2 to begin
performing the flashing of the BIOS.

4. The BIOS will automatically flash and reboot the machine.

5. After this, press DEL to enter the BIOS setup and select to "LOAD
OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS". After doing this select to "SAVE & EXIT."

6. Please note that this does not create a backup of the BIOS binary file.

7. This does not require you to have a bootable floppy disk.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Boot Disk Method

1. Create a bootable floppy disk in accordance with the instructions
laid out in the manual of your particular operating system. This
bootable floppy needs to be able to boot to a DOS console capable of
executing normal MS-DOS batch and executable files.

2. Download and extract the xxxxxxxx.EXE file corresponding to your
model from the EPoX website to the floppy. It will self extract into
the above listed files.

3. Boot using your DOS floppy disk to the A:\> command prompt. At the
DOS command prompt type: UPDATE

4. The BIOS will automatically flash.

5. Reboot the machine.

6. After this, press DEL to enter the BIOS setup and select to "LOAD
OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS". After doing this select to "SAVE & EXIT."

Note: During the use of UPDATE a backup of your original BIOS
date/code will be saved in the same directory as the UPDATE file. It
will be called OLD.BIN and can be used with the restore
instructions below in case you need to revert back to the original
BIOS date/code.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

BIOS Restore Instructions

Use of the restore procedure requires the OLD.BIN file created in the
Boot Disk method procedure above!

1. Boot using your DOS floppy disk to the A:\> command prompt. At
the DOS command prompt type: RESTORE

2. The BIOS will automatically flash.

3. Reboot the machine.

4. After this, press DEL to enter the BIOS setup and select to "LOAD
OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS". After doing this select to "SAVE & EXIT."

5. The system flash is now completed and should now be reverted back
to the original BIOS date/code.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

BIOS flash failed

If you have access to an old un-accelerated ISA video card, you might
be able to recover your BIOS. Remove all cards and drives from your
system, except for the ISA video card and the floppy drive. Then try
to boot from a system disk (a bootable floppy with only the flash
programs and corresponding BIOS binary). If you are able to boot to
the floppy, flash your BIOS according to the directions above.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I get out of memory errors when I flash my BIOS!

On some system configurations, even with a clean boot disk, you will
get an out of memory error (insufficient memory) when you try to
flash your BIOS. The solution is simple: Try bypassing the startup
files by pressing the following keys during startup using you
bootable floppy disk. Attempt the FLASH again.

DOS 6.2x boot disks - press F5 to bypass.
WINDOWS 95/98 boot disks - press F8 and select "Safe command prompt."
Lastly try using a MS-DOS 6.x boot disk.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Manual use of the AWDFLASH Utility

Most users will find that our UPDATE and RESTORE batch files can
accomplish the BIOS flash with the majority of configurations. But if
you wish to manually use the AWDFLASH utility, below are the most
common command line usages and parameters.

Awdflash 7.87d (C)Award Software 2000 All Rights Reserved

Usage:  AWDFLASH [FileName1] [FileName2] [//...]]

wennst das Bios 3305 (05.03.2003) von hier ladest
http://www.epox.com/html/support-article.asp?Article=p43T3K4b1Cu4h3H0c10Xb10mI0O3N2O10z3zD3

bekommst eine .exe Datei wo neben der .bin auch ein Awdflash.exe und eine Update.bat drin ist - eigentlich alles was man braucht.
Das alles auf eine Diskette, dann das System mit einer Bootdiskette (DOS, Win9x) starten, Bios-Diskette rein und updaten.

Hi;

...lad dir von der Epox-Seite eine der etwas älteren Biose (als .exe) runter - die kannst du dann entpacken, und da ist dann auch auch awdflash.exe und ein readme dabei - mußt dann nur mehr das .bin-file des älter packages gegen das neuere tauschen...

realer Sinn ist vorhanden (fsb geht nicht über 185)

Re: Bios Flash ... wie?

Hi;

...bitte erst ein Bios updaten, wenn es auch einen realen Sinn macht - noch dazu, wenn man sich nicht gut damit auskennt...

brauchst eine .exe Datei um deinem Bios den neuen Stand (die .bin Datei) zu verpassen,
ist aber je nach Motherboardtyp verschieden,
schau mal im Handbuch/auf der Motherboard-CD/auf der Website des Herstellers
nach welcher Flasher dazu notwendig ist,

z.b. Aflash.exe oder AF56.exe oder Awd801.exe oder ...

Re: Bios Flash ... wie?
