BIOS Upgrade
Open Easy Flash is more user friendly than traditional flash method. The BIOS binary
file and flash routine are combined together and you simply run a single file to complete
the flash process.
1. Get new BIOS upgrade program from AOpen's web site. For example,
AX6BC247.EXE. It is recommended to save it to a bootable DOS floppy diskette for
error recovery.
2. Reboot the system to DOS mode without loading any memory handler (such as
EMM386) or device driver. It needs around 520K free memory space.
3. Execute A:> AX6BC247
DO NOT turn off the power during FLASH PROCESS.
4. Reboot system and press
Del
to enter BIOS setup, Choose "Load Setup
Defaults", then “Save & Exit Setup”. Done!
Warning: The upgrade of new BIOS will permanently replace your
original BIOS content after flashing. The original BIOS setting and
Win95/Win98 PnP information will be refreshed and you probably
need to re-configure your system.
