Chapter 5 BIOS Setup This chapter tells how to change the system settings through the BIOS Setup menus. Detailed descriptions of the BIOS parameters are also provided.
5.1 Managing and updating your BIOS The following utilities allow you to manage and update the motherboard Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) setup. 1. ASUS AFUDOS (Updates the BIOS in DOS mode using a bootable floppy disk.) 2. ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 (Updates the BIOS using a bootable floppy disk or a USB flash drive when the BIOS file fails or gets corrupted.) 3. ASUS Update (Updates the BIOS in Windows® environment.) Refer to the corresponding sections for details on these utilities.
5.1.2 AFUDOS utility The AFUDOS utility allows you to update the BIOS file in DOS environment using a bootable floppy disk with the updated BIOS file. This utility also allows you to copy the current BIOS file that you can use as backup when the BIOS fails or gets corrupted during the updating process. Copying the current BIOS To copy the current BIOS file using the AFUDOS utility: • Make sure that the floppy disk is not write-protected and has at least 1024 KB free space to save the file.
Updating the BIOS file To update the BIOS file using the AFUDOS utility: 1. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) and download the latest BIOS file for the motherboard. Save the BIOS file to a bootable floppy disk. Write the BIOS filename on a piece of paper. You need to type the exact BIOS filename at the DOS prompt. 2. Copy the AFUDOS utility (afudos.exe) from the motherboard support CD to the bootable floppy disk you created earlier. 3.
5. The utility returns to the DOS prompt after the BIOS update process is completed. Reboot the system from the hard disk drive.

Do not turn off power during flash BIOS Reading file ....... done Reading flash ...... done Advance Check ...... Erasing flash ...... done Writing flash ...... done Verifying flash ....
5.1.3 ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 utility The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 is an auto recovery tool that allows you to restore the BIOS file when it fails or gets corrupted during the updating process. You can update a corrupted BIOS file using a floppy disk or a USB flash drive that contains the updated BIOS file. Prepare a floppy disk or a USB flash drive containing the updated motherboard BIOS before using this utility. Recovering the BIOS from a floppy disk To recover the BIOS from a floppy disk: 1.
Recovering the BIOS from a USB flash drive To recover the BIOS from a USB flash drive: 1. Remove any floppy disk from the floppy disk drive and turn on the system. 2. Insert the USB flash drive with the original or updated BIOS file (P5GCMRRS.ROM) to one USB port on the system. 3. The utility will automatically recover the BIOS. It resets the system when the BIOS recovery finished. DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS! Doing so can cause system boot failure! 4.
5.2 BIOS setup program This motherboard supports a programmable Low-Pin Count (LPC) chip that you can update using the provided utility described in section “5.1 Managing and updating your BIOS.” Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your system, or prompted to“Run Setup.” This section explains how to configure your system using this utility.
