3. Close all other applications.
Note: This is a required step. Your system will be rebooted at the last BIOS Update window. 

4. Look in Start > Programs for WinPhlash and run that program

5. In the 'Specify new BIOS' field, click 'Browse.' In the 'Look in' field, browse to the directory where
you saved the downloaded BIOS file. Then click on the BIOS file. The BIOS file is the partnumber 
you ordered with a .WPH extension. Click 'Open.'
 
6. Now click 'Flash BIOS.'

7. If the update was sucessful, the program will ask you to reboot. Chose yes if you have closed all your 
programs and saved your work. If you haven't choose no, close all programs and save your work, then reboot 
your computer.   If the update was NOT sucessful, please contact us immediately. Do you not shutdown 
your computer until the problem is resolved!

8. Once the computer resets, it will sometimes say that CMOS settings have changed. You should go into CMOS, 
usually by pressing the DEL or F1 key, and save the settings. For advanced users, at this time, if you wish, 
you may adjust CMOS settings to your liking.

9. After saving the CMOS settings, your new BIOS is now installed! Thanks for choosing eSupport.com!
