2.2 BIOS update utility

USB BIOS Flashback

USB 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, press the

USB BIOS Flashback button for three seconds, and the BIOS is updated automatically.

To use USB BIOS Flashback:

1. Insert a USB storage device to the USB Flashback port.

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. Rename the le as SX570FG.CAP, then copy it to your USB storage device.

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.

For more BIOS update utilities in BIOS setup, refer to the section Updating BIOS in

• Do not unplug portable disk or power system while BIOS update is ongoing, otherwise

update will be interrupted. In case of interruption, please follow the steps again.

• If the light ashes for ve seconds and turns into a solid light, this means that

the BIOS Flashback is not operating properly. This may be caused by improper

installation of the USB storage device and lename/le format error. If this scenario

happens, please restart the system to turn off the light.

• Updating BIOS may have risks. If the BIOS program is damaged during the process

and results to the system’s failure to boot up, please contact your local ASUS Service

Center.
