BIOS FlashBack™ allows you to easily update the BIOS without entering the existing BIOS

hole marked in green on the I/O shield) then press the BIOS FlashBack™ button for three
seconds to automatically update the BIOS.
To use BIOS FlashBack™:

We recommend you to use a USB 2.0 storage device to save the latest BIOS version for
better compatibility and stability.
2. Visit https://www.asus.com/support/ and download the latest BIOS version for this
motherboard.
3. Manually rename the file as M12E.CAP, or launch the BIOSRenamer.exe application
to automatically rename the file, then copy it to your USB storage device.
• The BIOSRenamer.exe application is zipped together with your BIOS file when you
download a BIOS file for a BIOS FlashBack™ compatible motherboard.
• Ensure to use a FAT / FAT32 / exFAT / NTFS format USB storage device to save the
BIOS file.
