ASUS EZ Flash 2 utility

The ASUS EZ Flash 2 feature allows you to update the BIOS without having to use an

OS-based utility.

Before using this utility, download the latest BIOS file from the ASUS website at www.asus.

com.

To update the BIOS using EZ Flash 2:
1.

Insert the USB flash disk that contains the latest BIOS file to the USB port, then launch

EZ Flash 2. You can launch EZ Flash 2 in two ways.

• Press

<Alt> + <F2>

during POST to display the following:

• Enter the BIOS setup program. Go to the

Tools

menu to select

EZ Flash 2

and

press

<Enter>

to enable it.

Press

<Tab> to switch between drives until the correct BIOS file is found.

When the correct BIOS file is found, EZ Flash 2 performs the BIOS update process

and automatically reboots the system when done.

• This function can support devices such as a USB flash disk with FAT 32/16

format and

single partition only.

• Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent system boot

failure!
