ou can acces

Q-Flash by either pressing the <End> key during the POST or pressing the <F8> key in BIOS Setup.

However

, if the

hard drive attached to

an independent IDE/SATA controller, use the <End> key during the POST to access Q-Flash.

Because BIOS ashing is potentially risky, please do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS ashing may

BIOS

Update

Utilities

GIGABYTE motherboards provide two unique BIOS update tools, Q-Flash

™

and @BIOS

™

. GIGABYTE

Q-Flash and @BIOS are easy-to-use and allow you to update the BIOS without the need to enter MS-DOS

mode. Additionally, this motherboard features the DualBIOS

™

design, which enhances protection for the

safety and stability of your computer by adding one more physical BIOS chip.

What is DualBIOS

™

Motherboards that support DualBIOS have two BIOS onboard, a

main BIOS and

a backup BIOS. Normally, the system works on the main BIOS. However, if the

main BIOS is corrupted or damaged, the backup BIOS will take over on the next system boot and copy the

BIOS le to the main BIOS to ensure normal system operation. For the sake of system safety, users cannot

update the backup BIOS manually.

What is Q-Flash

™

With Q-Flash you can update the system BIOS without having to enter operating

systems like MS-DOS or Window rst. Embedded in the BIOS, the Q-Flash tool

frees you from the hassles of going through complicated BIOS ashing process.

What is @BIOS

™

@BIOS allows you to update the system BIOS while in the Windows environ-

ment. @BIOS will download the latest BIOS

le from the nearest @BIOS

server

site and update the BIOS.
