Before Updating
If you are considering updating your BIOS, we strongly suggest that you first contact your dealer or system assembler. This On-line BIOS Guide contains only general information about the standard product, and as such, the information and files provided here may not, in some cases, work with your hardware.
You should be aware that flashing a BIOS is not guaranteed to be successful. If your system is already running well, then even if there is a new version of the BIOS available, it may not be the best option to flash the new one. Your system may experience serious adverse side effects or even lower performance.
If you decide to flash a new BIOS make sure that you have first made a backup copy of your present BIOS onto a bootable floppy. This way you will most likely be able flash back to your old setup if problems arise.
Please check whether the 4th digit of your BIOS (long string that appears on the screen during boot up) has an "I" (UMC I/O Core Logic Chip) or an "L" (Prime 3C I/O Core Logic chip) . You can refer to the User's Manual page 4 Mainboard Layout for the location of that chip.
