5 Overview of BIOS Features

5.1 Introduction

The board uses an ASUS AMI BIOS core that is stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface Flash

Memory (SPI Flash) and can be updated through multiple methods (see Section 5.2). The SPI Flash

contains the BIOS Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-configuration utility, LAN EEPROM

information, and Plug and Play support. The SPI Flash includes a flash memory device of either

32MB or 64MB depending on SKU.

The BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the identification information and the

BIOS settings for the system. The BIOS Setup program is accessed by pressing <F2> after the POST

memory test beings and before the operating system boots.

5.2 BIOS Updates

The BIOS can be updated using one of the following methods:

1. Express BIOS (Windows-based) Update

2. F7 Update

3. Power Button Menu Update

4. UEFI Shell Update

5.2.1 BIOS Recovery

It is unlikely that anything will interrupt a BIOS update; however, if an interruption occurs the BIOS

could be unstable. Table 19 lists the drives and media types that can be used for BIOS recovery. The

BIOS recovery media does not need to be made bootable.
