Running the Support CD-ROM
1. Place the disk in your CD-ROM drive. If you are running
Windows with Autoplay enabled, the opening screen of the CD
appears automatically. Click on READ ME to read the latest
instructions.
2. Before installing the software, look for a file named
README.TXT, or something similar. This file may contain
important information to help you install the software correctly.
3. Some software is installed in separate folders for different
operating systems, such as DOS, WIN NT, WIN95/98, and so
on. Always log on to the correct folder for the kind of OS you
are using.
4. To install the software, you usually execute a file named
SETUP.EXE or INSTALL.EXE by double clicking on the
filename.
Utility Folder Installation Notes
AMI Flash Memory Utility
This utility lets you erase the system BIOS stored on a Flash
Memory chip on the mainboard, and lets 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.
For this mainboard, you can use Aminfxxx.EXE (where xx is the
version number). 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 computer and select the
option Restart in DOS in the shutdown dialog box. If you are running
Windows NT, shut down your computer and boot from a DOS
diskette temporarily in order to run the flash memory utility.
