How to use SPI ROM Flash Utility?
Step 1.
(1) If your mainboard has a BIOS protection jumper, change the setting to allow BIOS flashing.
(2) Make a DOS boot U Disk. (The utility in the optical disk attached will help you to do it)
Step 2. Download BIOS and BIOS utility program
(1) Please go to ECS website at http://www.ecs.com.tw and click "Download" section.
(2) Choose an appropriate model name in accordance with user's manual or based on the motherboard revision that can be
found near the AGP slot.
(3) Please copy all your download files into the U disk. (Always include 4 files: DOS4GW.exe, FPARTS.txt, FPROG.exe,
BIOS file).
Step 3.
(1) Make sure the system will boot from the U disk. After the system boot U disk, type "C :\> dir" and press "Enter" to check
the entire files in floppy A. Then type the "BIOS flash utility" and “BIOS file” after C :\>. In this case you will have to type "fprog
/f px1r10b.bin" and then press "Enter" (px1r10b.bin is your M/B BIOS ROM file name)
(2) It will take around 1 minute for the utility to finish flashing your BIOS. Please restart your system after the BIOS flash
completely as the screen below.
Beware: Please do not turn off the system while you are upgrading BIOS. It will render your BIOS corrupted
and system totally inoperative.
(3) When the BIOS flash is completed, you may restart the system.
(4) If the BIOS file which you download from the web is 1M, you must add some parameters after the command of the
flashing. You have to type “fprog /f px.bin1914 /address 0x100000 /length 1048576” and then press “Enter” (px1914.bin is
your M/B BIOS ROM file name)
Step 4. Load BIOS defaults
(1) Normally the system redetects all devices after BIOS has been upgraded. Therefore, we highly recommend reloading the
BIOS defaults after BIOS has been upgraded. This important step resets everything after the flash.
(2) The boot up screen will indicate your motherboard model and current BIOS version.
(3) Press “Del” key to enter BIOS setup when system is booted up. Use the arrows to highlight the item "Load Optimized
Defaults" and then press "Enter". System will ask "Load Optimized Defaults (Y/N)?" Press "Y" and "Enter" keys to confirm.
