!!!!! IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE PROGRAMMING !!!!!
Note1: This BIOS is a Plug 'n Play BIOS, and has to be used with SST or Winbond
Flash Memory. If this BIOS is programmed in EPROM or other brands of
Flash Memory (not SST nor Winbond), there will be a problem with Windows
95 RESTART function.
Note2: If your on-board BIOS is AMI BIOS and you want to program the Award BIOS
file into the on-board BIOS, you must use the "AMI" flash utility
(i.e.: AMIFL530.COM, AMIFL620.COM).
Note3: If your on-board BIOS is Award BIOS and you want to program the AMI BIOS
file into the on-board BIOS, you must use the "AWARD" flash utility
(i.e.: AWDFL52B.EXE, AWDFL534.EXE ).
How to use the AMI FLASH Utility
-----------------------------------
This utility is used to program a new BIOS into a Flash memory. You have to
make sure first that the BIOS installed in your mainboard is Flash memory,
and not EPROM.
1. Turn on your computer.
2. Boot up clean, bypassing your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.
3. Then, run the AMI FLASH UTILITY file.
DRIVE:\>AMI_FLASH UTILITY_FILE BIOS_FILE
EX: C:\>AMIFL530 A37A.ROM
The programming screen will be shown. At the bottom of the screen, the
following message will appear:
Press "Y" to Continue, "N" to Reboot
Press "N" if you do not want to continue programming the new BIOS.
Press "Y" if you want to continue programming the new BIOS. The new BIOS
will then be programmed. When it has finished programming, the following
message will appear:
Flash EPROM Program Successful. Press Any Key to Reboot.
You have successfully programmed the new BIOS.
