BIOS Update Guide G-1 Appendix G. BIOS Update Guide We will use the SE6 motherboard as an example. All other models follow the same process. (The motherboard photo we show you below is SX7-533) 1. Know your motherboard’s PCB version number. You can find it at the front or back of the motherboard. Each motherboard always has the label (Bar code sticker) at a different place on the PCB to show the PCB version. (As shown in the photo below, just for example) 2. Know the current BIOS ID.
G-2 Appendix G For example, in this case, the current BIOS ID is “00”. If you already have the latest BIOS, no any update action is necessary. If your BIOS is not the latest BIOS, go on to the next step. 3. Download the correct BIOS file from our Web site. You can click the “Download” button on the green line, then go to our download center and choose the correct BIOS file and download it. 4. Double click the download file-it will self-extract to awdflash.exe and .bin files. 5.
BIOS Update Guide G-3 After formatting and transferring the system to the floppy disk, copy two files into it. One is the BIOS flash utility “awdflash.exe” and the other is the decompressed BIOS “.bin” file. 6. Boot off floppy disk.
Appendix G G-4 Please set the first boot sequence as “floppy” in BIOS and boot off the floppy disk. 7. Flash the BIOS in pure DOS mode. After successfully booting off of the floppy, execute the flash utility according to these instructions. Note We strongly recommend you use the above parameters following “awdflash” to flash your BIOS. DO NOT just type “awdflash se6_sw.bin” without the above parameters following the .bin file.
