ASUS P5VD2-MX SE Motherboard 2-7
2.1.5 Using ASUS EZ Flash to update the BIOS
The ASUS EZ Flash feature allows you to easily update the BIOS without having to
go through the long process of booting from a oppy disk and using a DOS-based
utility. The EZ Flash is built-in the BIOS LPC chip so it is accessible by simply
pressing <Alt> + <F2> during the Power-On Self Tests (POST).
To update the BIOS using ASUS EZ Flash:
1. Visit the system builder website to download the latest BIOS file for your
motherboard and rename it to
P5VD2MX.ROM
. Save the BIOS le to a oppy
disk.
2. Reboot the system.
3. To launch EZ Flash, press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the following.
4. Insert the oppy disk that contains the BIOS le. If the
P5VD2MX.ROM
le
is found in the oppy disk, EZ Flash performs the BIOS update process and
automatically reboots the system when done.
DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS! Doing so can
cause system boot failure!
