Note: 1. Do not unplug the portable storage device, power the system down, or press the CLR_CMOS buƩon while BIOS updaƟng is ongoing, or the update will be interrupted. In case of interrupƟon, follow the recommended procedures again to complete the BIOS update. 2. If the light flashes for five seconds and turns stable, USB BIOS Flashback is not operaƟng properly. This may be caused by improper installaƟon of the portable storage device, an error in the file name, or incompaƟbility in file formats. If this is the case, restart the system unƟl the light clears, and check the file name and format. 3. BIOS updates may affect a PC in various ways. Should any issues with the BIOS arise as a result or your system is unable to boot, please your local ASUS center for further assistance.
