Which Bios file for A7n8x2.0 Deluxe
in [Asus]
|
From: EGK on 23 Feb 2006 16:53 I just purchased a used board on ebay and can't figure out which bios file I need to update the darned thing. It says it's an A7N8X2.0 Deluxe board. I see multiple boards with that serial on the Asus site but none with the 2.0 designation. Anyone have any idea? On bootup it says Asus bios 4.1.50 03/19/2003 Asus A7N8X2.0 Deluxe ACPI bios Revision 1003 -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "There would be a lot more civility in this world if people didn't take that as an invitation to walk all over you" (Calvin and Hobbes)

You should be looking for "A7N8X Deluxe" downloads, then look for 2.0 specific files. http://support.asus.com.tw/download/download_item_nn.aspx?model=A7N8X%20Deluxe&product=1&f_name=&type=Latest&SLanguage=en-us While the file naming convention has been changed, it looks like "1008_D.zip" is from the same family as "C18D1007.zip". (I checked internally with a hex editor.) The "4.1.50" number on bootup, is the release number of the SATA RAID BIOS, which is a software module within the flash BIOS chip. Your current BIOS release is 1003, and the latest is the 1008 file "1008_D.zip". The 1008_D contains SATA RAID BIOS 4.2.47 (using a hex editor, the module name is near the substring "lh5", 7th instance). ************************************************************ Location :Download >Motherboard >A7N8X Deluxe Model :A7N8X Deluxe BIOS History ------------------------------------------------------------ Beta Version 1009 2005/09/27 update Description A7N8X Deluxe BIOS 1009 for PCB revision 1.04, and 1.06 only Support AMD Sempron CPU Patch 3D Labs AGP card compability issue Update SATA ROM ------------------------------------------------------------ Version 1008 2004/08/10 update <--- latest --- Description A7N8X Deluxe BIOS 1008 for PCB revision 2.0 and later only Support AMD Sempron CPU ------------------------------------------------------------ Version 1008 2004/06/18 update Description A7N8X Deluxe BIOS 1008 for PCB revision 1.04, and 1.06 only.

From: EGK on 23 Feb 2006 18:12 Thanks a lot Paul. I thought that was the right one but wasn't totally sure and wasn't sure I wanted to risk it. I even tried the Asus updater utility that came on the CD and it kept telling me no bios could be found on the ftp sites it used.
