6. BIOS Configuration
The motherboard provides a 4MB, 3.3V, 32-Pin PLCC package Firmware Hub chips that can be updated using provided BIOS Utility. The Setup Utility stores data about mother­board components and the configuration of devices that are connected to it. The informa­tion is used to test and initialize components at start up time and to make sure everything runs properly when the system is operating. The Utility provide you the opportunity when­ever you need to install your motherboard, change its default value for better performance or reconfigure your system when new components or device are used. We will suggest updating your BIOS if you have problems with your motherboard and you know that the new BIOS revision will solve your problems. Unnecessary updating may result more problems for your motherboard. When you start up the system, the system provides the opportunity to run this program. This appears during the Power On Self Test (POST), press <DELETE> key to call up “Setup Utility”. If you are a little bit late pressing the mentioned key(s), POST will continue with its test routines. If you still need to call setup, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete> keys, or press the reset button on your chassis. You can also restart by turning system off and then back on again. But do it only first 2 way fail.
The below table, CMOS Setup Utility will appear on screen after call up.
Note : If you are not sure how to configure the setup utility, we suggest that you select auto configuration with Optimal Settings on the CMOS Setup Utility screen, then exit saving changes. This load optimized default settings for normal use.

This utility lets you erase the system BIOS stored on a Flash Memory chip on the motherboard, and let you copy an updated BIOS to the chip. Take care how you use this program. If you erase the current BIOS and fail to write a new BIOS, or write a new BIOS that is incorrect, your system will malfunction. The flash memory utility is called AWDFLASH.EXE. To use the utility, you must be in real-mode DOS (not the DOS box that is available in Windows 95/98/NT). If you are using Windows 95/98, shut down your system and select the option restart in DOS in the shut down dialog box. If you are running Windows NT, shut down your system and boot from a DOS diskette temporarily in order to run the flash memory utility. You can easily flash a BIOS by following the step below :
l After downloading the appropriate BIOS file from website, extract it to a bootable DOS
6.X or Windows 98 diskette.
l If you are using DOS 6.X, reboot your system with the bootable diskette in the A:
drive. To make sure a clean DOS environment is loaded, press the [F5] key while “Starting MS-DOS” is displayed. After the system has rebooted, the cursor will ap­pear at the A:\>prompt.
l If you are using Windows 95 or 98, press [F8] key when you see “Starting MS Win-
dows 95 or 98”. Select the option “Safe Mode Command Prompt only”.
l Now you can run the flash utility from the A:\prompt.For example, to update the moth-
erboard to BIOS version xx, you would type :
A:\>AWDFLASH xxxxxx.BIN
l Then press [Enter] key, after the flash screen appear, select [Y] to save the current
BIOS or [N] if you do not want to save the current BIOS. We recommended that you save the current BIOS.
l When prompted, select [Yes] to program the BIOS. l After the update process has completed, you will be prompted to power off or reset
your system. Once the system reboots, verify that the new BIOS version appear on the screen. Note : After reprogramming the BIOS, you may need to enter BOS setup and reset your settings.
