2.1.4 Updating the BIOS The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) can be updated using the AwardBIOS Flash Utility. Follow these instructions to update the BIOS using this utility. 1. Download the latest BIOS file from the ASUS web site. Rename the file to M2N-VMSE.BIN and save it to a floppy disk, CD ROM or a USB flash disk in FAT 16/12 format. Save only the updated BIOS file in the floppy disk to avoid loading the wrong BIOS file. 2. Copy the AwardBIOS Flash Utility (awdflash.exe) from the Software folder of the support CD to the floppy disk, CD ROM or a USB flash disk with the latest BIOS file. 3. Boot the system in DOS mode using the bootable floppy disk, CD ROM or a USB flash disk you created earlier. 4. Under the DOS mode, use (X stands for the name of the disk assignment) to switch to the folder of the floppy disk, CD ROM or USB flash disk you saved the BIOS file and the Award BIOS Flash Utility.
