Introduction
K7N2S serie s of mainboards utilize nForce2 Ultra 400+RAID MCP chipset,
providing a fully compatible, high performance and cost-effective ATX
platform. The new integrated technologies, together with AC’97 audio(2/
6-channel), 8 USB 2.0, 2 SATA, and ATA133/100/66/33, give customers
an advanced , multimedia solution at reasonable price. It provides 266/333/
400MHz host bus speed to supp ort AMD Athlon XP/Duron socket A processors and the DDR266/333/400 memory. Suspending to RAM(optional),
the optimal implementa tion of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification, makes the PC’s power consumption drop to
the lowest possible level and enable quick wakeup.

BIO S Description
The mainboard uses AMI BIOS Setu p program that provides a Setup
utility for use rs to modify the basic system configuration. The information is stored in CMOS RAM so it retains the Setup information
even if the power is turned off. This chapter provides you with the
overview of the BIOS Setup.

BIOS Description
AMIBIOS Flash Upgrade Method
NVFLASHS
NVFLASHS is a package of utilitie s used to update the system BIOS, NVFLASHS works in
DOS environmen t.
Before upgrading your BIOS, please note:
We s trongly recommend you only upgrade BIOS when encounter problems.
Before upgrading your BIOS, review the description below to avoid making
mistakes,destroying the BIOS and resulting in a non-working system.
When you encounter problems, for example, you find your system does not support the
latest CPU released after our current mainboard, you may th erefore upgrade the BIOS,
please do n’t forget to set BIOS_WP as open and disable the “BIOS Write Protect” item in AMI
BIOS CMOS Setup first .
Below is the option for this program:
-f <filename> Flash the ROM using <filename>
-v or -va Verify the file matches the ROM (the e ntire ROM)
-vm:ESCD Verify the file matches the ROM but mask the ESCD range
-vm:03000-03fff Ve rify the file matches the ROM but mask 03000-03fff
-vr:001 00-00200 Verify the rang e in the file from 00100-00200
-u Up date UUID
-igp64 -igp128 Force ramwidth in NB ROM tables to 64 or 128
-i Ignore errors in file (flash BIOS reguard less)
-c Cle ar CMOS
-l Set RomTable LOCKOUT bit
-QuickFlash Reflashes sectors only if the y differ from new image
-mb <moth erboard> Motherboard specific
Follow the steps exactly for a successful upgrade.
1. Create a bo otable system floppy diskette by typing Format A:/s from the DOS prompt
under DOS6.xx or Windows 9x environment.
2. Copy NVFLASHS.EXE from the directory \Utility located on QDI Utility CD to new
bootable diskette.
3. Download the up dated BIOS file from the Website (http://www.qdigrp.com). Please
be sure to download the suitable BIOS file for your motherboard.
4. Decompress the file download, copy the BIOS file (xxx.ROM) to the bo otable diskette.
5. Reboot the system from the b ootable diskette created.
6. Then run the NVFLASHS utility at the A:\ prompt as shown below:
A:\NVFLASHS -f xxx.ROM
Follow the instruction through the process. Don’t turn off power or reset the system
until the BIOS u pgrade has been completed.
A Note:
Because the BIOS Software will be updated constantly, the following BIOS screen and descriptions are for re ference purposes only
and ma y not reflect your BIOS screens exactly.
