The SDVIA also provides the colored keyboard (P/S 2), mouse(P/S 2), Serial/Paralle/USB connector will make your system installation and maintenance with less fuss.
Overview Overview Getting Help If a problem arises with yours system during installation or OS operating, you should Ask your dealer for help first as your system has most likely configured by them. They always have the best idea and quick response for your symptoms. If your dealer is near to your locations, you should bring your system to them to have it quickly serviced instead of attempting to solve the problem by yourself. Beside these, RIOWORKS also provide some helpful resource to help you. 1.

BIOS Setup +D=FJAH BIOS Setup This chapter discusses the Award Setup program built into the ROM BIOS. The Setup program allows users modifying the basic system configurations according to their requirements. This special information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off. The AwardBIOS installed in your computer systems ROM (Read Only Memory) is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS.
BIOS Setup 2. By pressing immediately after switching the system on. If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup Program, restart the system from state On to state Off by pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You may also restart the system by simultaneously pressing , , and keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot as well, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to..

Y Exit Without Saving Pressing on this item asks for confirmation: Quit without saving (Y/N)? Y This allows you exiting Setup without changing previous setting values in CMOS. The previous selections remain in effect. This will exit the Setup utility and restarts your computer when click this selection.
Flash ROM +D=FJAH ! BIOS Flash Upgrade Utility This chapter briefly discusses the Award BIOS Flash Upgrade utility, with instructions to guide you through updating an Award BIOS. In the examples given here, we use the file name newbios.bin to represent the new BIOS and the file name oldbios.bin to represent the old BIOS. Note that these file names are only examples to help you understand the updating process. Awdflash.exe commands are not case-sensitive.
Flash ROM Running the Program 1. Boot the system from the bootable floppy diskette you created. Booting from the diskette bypasses loading drivers from the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files on the hard drive, eliminating the possibility of loading a program (e.g., a memory manager) that conflicts with the Award flash utility. NOTE: The Award flash utility cannot run when EMM386 or QEMM are loaded. If you try, an error message appears. 2. At the DOS command line, type awdflash and press ↵.
Flash ROM 8. Then the program prompts you : Are you sure to program (y/n) 9. You will need to make a selection: No Yes If you DO NOT wish to update the BIOS, type n. If you DO wish to update the BIOS, type y. The program exits to the command line. Skip the following steps in this section and go directly to the next section.
Flash ROM Usage: AWDFLASH [FileName1] [FileName2] [/[/ ]] FileName1 : New BIOS Name For Flash Programming FileName2 : BIOS File For Backing-up the Original BIOS ? : Show the Messages py : Program Flash Memory pn: No Flash Programming sy : Backup Original BIOS To Disk File sn: No Original BIOS Backup sb : Skip BootBlock programming sd: Save DMI data to file cp : Clear PnP(ESCD) Data After Programming cd : Clear DMI Data After Programming cc : Clear CMOS Data After Programming R : RESET Sy

Example 1 To program a new BIOS and save the old BIOS, enter the following at the command line: awdflash newbios.bin /Py oldbios.bin /Sy The program saves the old BIOS to the file as named and updates it with the new BIOS. Example 2 Flash ROM To program a new BIOS without saving the old BIOS, enter the following at the command line: awdflash newbios.
