JetWay PM9MS Bios 62906

By Posted on

This document provides essential information and instructions for updating the BIOS on the JetWay PM9MS motherboard to version 62906. A BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) update is a critical process that can improve system stability, compatibility, and performance. However, it’s crucial to follow the instructions carefully to avoid potential issues.

Important Notices Before Proceeding:

Before initiating the BIOS update process, please read and understand the following critical notices:

  1. Post-Flash Procedure: Load Optimized Defaults or Clear CMOS: After successfully flashing the BIOS, it is mandatory to either load "Optimized Defaults" in the BIOS setup or clear the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) memory. This step ensures that the system operates correctly with the new BIOS settings. Failing to do so can result in instability or boot failures.

  2. BIOS Upgrade Sequence: The recommended BIOS upgrade sequence is as follows:

    • Flash the BIOS using the appropriate utility.
    • Enter the BIOS setup utility (usually by pressing DEL, F2, or another key during startup – consult your motherboard manual for the correct key).
    • Load "Optimized Defaults" from the BIOS menu.
    • Save the changes and exit the BIOS setup. The system will then restart.

  3. Flash Utility Requirement: It is imperative to use either the AWARD Flash Utility or the AMI Flash Utility for this BIOS update. Using an incompatible utility can damage the BIOS chip and render the motherboard unusable.

  4. Specific Flash Utility Versions: If you choose to use the AWARD Flash Utility, ensure that you are using version 8.83 or a newer version. Similarly, if you opt for the AMI Flash Utility, ensure you are using version 4.29 or a more recent version. Older versions may not be compatible with this specific BIOS update.

  5. Command-Line Parameters: When using AWDFLASH (version 8.83 or newer) to flash the JetWay PM9MS Bios 62906, specific command-line parameters are required: /cd/cp/ch/wb/qi. When using AMIFLASH (version 4.29 or newer), the required parameters are: /p /b/n /c /k. These parameters ensure that the flashing process is performed correctly and safely. Failure to use the correct parameters could lead to a corrupted BIOS.

  6. BIOS Type Compatibility: A motherboard with an AWARD BIOS cannot be updated with an AMI BIOS, and vice versa. The JetWay PM9MS Bios 62906 update is specifically designed for either AWARD or AMI BIOS, depending on the original BIOS version installed on the motherboard. Ensure you are using the correct type of BIOS update for your motherboard. Also, an "A02" version is designed to update an "A01" BIOS version, while an "MA02" version is intended to update an "MA01" version.

What’s New in JetWay PM9MS Bios 62906:

This BIOS update primarily focuses on improvements to the motherboard BIOS (M/B BIOS). While specific details about the enhancements are not provided, BIOS updates typically address issues such as:

  • Improved system stability
  • Enhanced compatibility with newer hardware components (e.g., CPUs, memory modules, graphics cards)
  • Bug fixes
  • Optimized performance

It’s important to note that the specific improvements included in this update are not explicitly documented in the provided information.

Flashing the BIOS: A Step-by-Step Guide

Important: Incorrectly flashing the BIOS can brick your motherboard. Proceed with extreme caution and only if you are comfortable with the process.

  1. Identify Your Current BIOS Version: Before flashing, note your current BIOS version. This is usually displayed during the system startup or within the BIOS setup utility. This information can be crucial if you need to revert to a previous BIOS version.

  2. Download and Extract the BIOS Files: Download the JetWay PM9MS Bios 62906 update from the provided link (or an alternative). Extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file to a temporary folder on your computer.

  3. Prepare a Bootable USB Drive or Floppy Disk: You will need a bootable USB drive or floppy disk to flash the BIOS. The method for creating a bootable drive depends on the flashing utility you are using (AWARD or AMI). Refer to the documentation for your chosen utility for instructions. Some common tools include Rufus (for USB drives) and older versions of Windows.

  4. Copy the BIOS Files and Flash Utility to the Bootable Drive: Copy the extracted BIOS files (typically a .BIN or .ROM file) and the appropriate flash utility (AWDFLASH.EXE or AMIFLASH.EXE) to the root directory of the bootable USB drive or floppy disk.

  5. Boot from the USB Drive or Floppy Disk: Restart your computer and configure the BIOS to boot from the USB drive or floppy disk. This is usually done by entering the BIOS setup utility (DEL, F2, etc.) and changing the boot order.

  6. Run the Flash Utility: Once the system boots from the USB drive or floppy disk, you will be presented with a command prompt. Execute the flash utility with the correct parameters as specified earlier. For example:

    • AWDFLASH.EXE [BIOS filename].BIN /cd/cp/ch/wb/qi
    • AMIFLASH.EXE [BIOS filename].ROM /p /b/n /c /k

    Replace [BIOS filename].BIN or [BIOS filename].ROM with the actual name of the BIOS file.

  7. Wait for the Flashing Process to Complete: The flash utility will now begin the process of writing the new BIOS to the BIOS chip. Do not interrupt the process. Power outages or interruptions during flashing can corrupt the BIOS and render the motherboard unusable. The utility will typically display a progress bar and status messages.

  8. Restart the Computer: Once the flashing process is complete, the utility will usually prompt you to restart the computer.

  9. Load Optimized Defaults or Clear CMOS: After the restart, immediately enter the BIOS setup utility and load "Optimized Defaults." If that doesn’t work, clear the CMOS. Consult your motherboard manual for instructions on how to clear the CMOS (usually involves removing a small battery on the motherboard for a few minutes).

  10. Save and Exit: Save the changes and exit the BIOS setup utility. The system will restart again.

  11. Verify the New BIOS Version: After the final restart, verify that the new BIOS version has been successfully installed. This can be done by checking the BIOS version during startup or within the BIOS setup utility.

Troubleshooting:

  • System Won’t Boot After Flashing: If the system fails to boot after flashing, try clearing the CMOS. If that doesn’t work, you may need to use a hardware BIOS programmer to re-flash the BIOS chip. This is an advanced procedure and should only be attempted by experienced users.
  • Flashing Utility Errors: If the flashing utility reports errors, double-check that you are using the correct utility, the correct BIOS file, and the correct command-line parameters. Also, ensure that the USB drive or floppy disk is properly formatted and bootable.

Disclaimer:

Updating the BIOS is a potentially risky process. We are not responsible for any damage that may occur as a result of following these instructions. Proceed at your own risk. It is always recommended to back up your current BIOS before attempting an update.
