2.1.4 Updating the BIOS
The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) can be updated using the AwardBIOS
Flash Utility. Follow these instructions to update the BIOS using this utility.
1. Download the latest BIOS le from the ASUS web site. Rename the le to
P5VD2VM.BIN/P5VVMSEDH.BIN and save it to a oppy disk.
Save only the updated BIOS le in the oppy disk to avoid loading the wrong
BIOS le.
2. Copy the AwardBIOS Flash Utility (awdash.exe) from the Software folder of
the support CD to the oppy disk with the latest BIOS le.
3. Boot the system in DOS mode using the bootable oppy disk you created
earlier.
4. When the A:> appears, replace the bootable oppy disk with the oppy disk
containing the new BIOS le and the Award BIOS Flash Utility.
5. At the prompt, type
awdash then press
<Enter>. The Award
BIOS Flash Utility screen
appears.
