Insert the support DVD or USB flash disk containing the BIOS file to the disk drive or
port.
3.
The utility displays the following message and automatically checks the support DVD
or USB flash disk for the BIOS file.
• Only the USB flash disk with FAT 32/16 format and single partition can support ASUS
CrashFree BIOS 3. The device size should be smaller than 8GB.
• DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS! Doing so can cause
system boot failure!

checks the optical drive and the USB flash disk.
