The EZ Flash is built-in the BIOS firmware so it is accessible by simply pressing <Alt> + <F2> during the Power-On Self Tests (POST). Download the latest BIOS file from the ASUS website (see ASUS contact information on page x). Save the file to a floppy disk. Write down the BIOS file name on a piece of paper. You need to type the exact BIOS file name at the EZ Flash screen. 2. To use EZ Flash, press <Alt> + <F2> during POST to display the following screen.
