Note L-1: The BIOS file name in the figure shown is only an example. You should check which .bin
file is to be used with your motherboard. Don’t flash with the wrong .bin file otherwise you may cause
system malfunctions. Even the same model BIOS, according to their release dates and which problems
have been fixed, have different .bin names. Please read the BIOS file description before you download
it.
For example, if you want to update the SE6 BIOS, please follow the procedures described below.
Step 1. Please visit our Website (www.abit.com.tw) and download the following files: ABITFAE.BAT,
AWDFLASH.EXE and the SE6’s newest BIOS file -- SE6_MJ.EXE for example. After you
download these three files, please execute the “SE6_MJ.EXE.” Then you will get a file
“SE6_MJ.BIN.”
Step 2. Create a bootable floppy without any resident programs, and then copy the files ABITFAE.BAT,
AWDFLASH and SE6_MJ.BIN to the floppy.
Step 3. Reboot your computer and enter the BIOS setup. Set your system to boot from “
Floppy
” (refer to
section 3-3) and then insert the floppy you created into drive A.
Step 4. After you boot from floppy successfully, at the “A:\>” prompt, execute the following command:
ABITFAE SE6_MJ.BIN (Enter)
The BIOS will be updated automatically with all parameters.
Step 5. After the flash update is completed, reboot your system, and then go into the BIOS setup to
configure the CPU parameter and other peripheral settings (refer to chapter 3).
Note L-2: The Award flash utility can not be completed under a Windows
®

environment, you must be in a pure DOS environment. You should check which BIOS file is to be used
with your motherboard, don't flash with the wrong BIOS file. Otherwise, you may cause system
malfunctions.
Note L-3: Please do not use the Award flash memory writer version earlier than Version 7.72 to flash
your SE6 motherboard BIOS. Otherwise, it may cause flash fail or anticipate problems.
