We are expanding our products line and use three different types of BIOS: AMI, Award and Phoenix. Each type has a different approach in the flashing process. If your system does not have any problem, please do not flash the BIOS. We are not responsible for any damage from updating BIOS.

i. Download the BIOS zip file form our Resources Page based on the motherboard you have.
ii. Unzip the zip file into a blank floppy disk. Please read the readme.txt since it may contain important instructions.
