BIOS update utility

BIOS FlashBack™
BIOS FlashBack™ allows you to easily update the BIOS without entering the existing BIOS
or operating system. Simply insert a USB storage device to the USB port (the USB port
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™:
1. Insert a USB storage device to the BIOS FlashBack™ port.
• We recommend you to use a USB 2.0 storage device to save the latest BIOS version
for better compatibility and stability.
• Refer to section Rear I/O connection for the location of the USB port that supports
BIOS FlashBack™.
2. Visit https://www.asus.com/support/ and download the latest BIOS version for this
motherboard.
3. Manually rename the file as WSXSG2.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.
4. Shut down your computer.
5. Press the BIOS FlashBack™ button for three seconds until the FlashBack™ LED
blinks three times, indicating that the BIOS FlashBack™ function is enabled.
