- Press the PWR button SW3 for 4 seconds to turn off the core.
- You can now program the BIOS flash on base.
- After the update, disconnect Dediprog's ISP cable.
- Switch the E11 jumper back to the 1-2 position.
- Restart using the "Reset" button SW2.
After Update
To ensure the update was successful, enter the BIOS menu by pressing "F2" during start up and verify that the BIOS revision date has changed. The BIOS date is specified in Main->System Information - >Build Time.
