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 file as SX570EG.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
Chapter 3.
• 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 flashes for five 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 filename/file 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.
