P4S8X - EZ Flash BIOS Update

I have a quick question about the ASUS P4S8X motherboard and the EZ Flash BIOS update utility I hope someone can help me with. I didn't find an answer to this by searching the forums, unless I just missed it.

The manual states to dowload the BIOS file and save it to a floppy disk. I got BIOS version v1005 from the ASUS website, which is a zip file. Within the zip file is a file named, "P4s8x015.awd".

Do I put the "P4s8x015.awd" file onto a floopy disk exactly as it's named, with the .awd extension, or do I have to rename the file to "P4s8x.ROM"?

The manual mentions nothing about changing the BIOS filename, but I just wanted to check before I do this. The reason I'm asking is because documentation on ASUS's website for many other of their motherboards says to rename the file with the .ROM extension prior to flashing.

Thanks for your help.
