- Flash-Bios-Update for PCI-486-Mainboard: HOT-433P
- =================================================
- Version: 22 x 22 cm, 1 bank external cache
-
- Attention:
- This file may not be up to date.
- We are not liable for any damages caused by the bios-update.
-
- 1) Is there a Flash-EPROM (EEPROM) on the mainboard?
- Remove the "AMI"-label on the EPROM-Chip...
- - Is there a window, then it's an EPROM - you can't update
- this type by using software.
- - It's a "SST"- or "Winbond"-Chip: you can update by software.
- 2) Remove any memory-manager (EMM386.EXE)
- 3) Clear any password settings in BIOS-Setup.
- 4) Start program: FLASH465 433AUS33.ROM (for Version 33)
- (Start AWDFLASH if AWARD-Bios is running)
-
- If the programming failed, you can start the programming on an other mainboard
- with Flash EPROM. Before you confirm the programming, you can change the
- EPROM with the defect one (while system is running).
-
- The bios update could be impossible with
- - Cyrix 5x86 CPU (if error, then take an other CPU)
- - MS-DOS Version 6.20 (take 6.22)
-
- If you set the System-Clock to 40 MHz for 40/80/120 CPUs, you must test the
- PCI-Components if they run with this frequence. Take notice of PCI-Spec: it
- is specified up to 33 MHz, but some components run also with 40 MHz.
- 50 MHz is in all cases too much.
