A04 System BIOS Release Notes:
1. Improves the EC chip entering into sleep mode when the system is off (S5) to reduce battery consumption.
2. Enhances battery charge once it has been discharged completely.
3. Modified the 9 volt battery wake up to 30 seconds.
4. Set the CPU clocks correctly when resuming from sleep (S3) or hibernate (S4) and Stealth Mode is enabled.

Instructions and comments:
1. To install the BIOS, download the ISO and use a CD burning software (such as Nero or Roxio) to burn it to a CD.
2. Confirm the image burned correctly and restart your system with the CD in the optical drive.
3. When the AlienHead splash screen appears hit F12 to pull up the boot menu and select CD/DVD drive as your boot source.
4. The system will boot from the CD and automatically flash the BIOS, however it will take some time to load the entire image to flash the BIOS. Please be patient.
5. If your system is RAID enabled, after flashing the BIOS and rebooting the system go into the BIOS Advanced menu and set the SATA Operation to RAID. Then enable each drive for RAID.
6. The A04 BIOS must be installed with the OSD Application A02 (v. 2.19) or later version. If not, your OSD functionality might not be complete.
