Unique Features

5-1-3  Using Q-Flash Plus

A. Before You Begin

1. 

From GIGABYTE's website, download the latest compressed BIOS update file that matches your motherboard 

model.

2. 

Uncompress the downloaded BIOS file, save it to your USB flash drive, and rename it to 

GIGABYTE.bin

. 

(

Note:

 The USB flash drive must use the FAT32 file system.)

3.  Connect the power cables to the 12V power connector (connect either one if there are two) and main power 

connector.

4. 

Please turn on the power supply before connecting the USB flash drive to the Q-Flash Plus port on the 

back panel.

B. Using Q-Flash Plus

Press the Q-Flash Plus button and the system will automatically search and match the BIOS file in the USB 
flash drive on the Q-Flash Plus port. The QFLED and the Q-Flash Plus button on the rear panel will flash during 
the BIOS matching and flashing process. Wait for 6-8 minutes and the LEDs will stop flashing when the BIOS 
flashing is complete.

If you choose to update the BIOS manually, first make sure that your system is off (S5 shutdown 

state).
