BIOS Update Guide

G-1

Appendix G. BIOS Update Guide

The procedure illustrated here is based on the model SE6 as an example; all other models follow the same
process.

1. First, find out the model name and version number of this motherboard. You can find a sticker with

model name and version number on one slot or at the back of the motherboard.

2. Find out the current BIOS ID.

For example, in this case, the current BIOS ID is “

”. If you already have the latest BIOS, no any update

action is necessary. If your BIOS is not the latest BIOS, go on to the next step.
