- AWARD Bios-Update HOT-553 Mainboard
- ===================================
-
- This file may not be up to date.
- We are not liable for any damages caused by the bios-update.
-
-
- Attention - read carefully!!!!
- ==============================
- Instructions for Bios-Update to version 0A:
- 1) Do not update bios, if EPROM is manufactured by Intel.
- You can recognize the typ of flash eprom by removing
- the AWARD-label from the eprom. If it's an intel typ,
- then it is signed with "i". In this case the boot block
- is write-protected.
-
- Flash EPROM = Intel (i) -> Bios Version: 553WUQ07 suggested
- Flash EPROM = MX, SST, Winbond,... -> no problem
-
- 2) Programming voltage for Flash-EPROM depends on manufacturer:
- 12V -> Jumper 9 Pin 2-3 closed (MX and Intel)
- 5V -> Jumper 9 Pin 1-2 closed
- 3) Make sure that Password-setting is disabled in Bios-Setup.
- 4) Start DOS, but without any memory manager (e.g. EMM386.EXE)
- 5) Start program by entering: AFLH52B <Bios-Filename>
-
- The <Bios-Filename> depends on the I/O-Chip (U3) of the
- onboard-controller
-
- 553WUQ0B.BIN UMC-I/O-Chip
- 553WSQ0A.BIN SMC-I/O-Chip
-
- Make bios update with any ISA-VGA-Card,
- if old Bios-Version makes trouble with PnP.
- 6) After programming flash EPROM switch off system for a short time.
- 7) Load Bios-Default setting.
-
