5-1-3 Using Q-Flash Plus
A. Before you use Q-Flash Plus, follow the steps below in sequence:
1. From GIGABYTE's website, download the latest compressed BIOS update le that matches your motherboard
model.
2. Uncompress the downloaded BIOS le, save it to your USB ash drive, and rename it to GIGABYTE.bin.
Note: The USB ash drive must use the FAT32/16 le system.
3. Insert the USB ash drive into the white USB port on the back panel.
4. Connect the power cables to the 12V power connector (connect either one if there are two) and main power
connector.
B. Using Q-Flash Plus
Press the Q-Flash Plus button and the system will automatically search and match the BIOS le in the USB
ash drive on the white USB port. The QFLED and the Q-Flash Plus button on the rear panel will ash during
the BIOS matching and ashing process. Wait for 2-3 minutes and the LED will stop ashing when the BIOS
ashing is complete.
• Before using the Q-Flash Plus function, make sure that your system is off (S5 shutdown state).
• If your motherboard has a BIOS switch and a SB switch, reset them to their default settings.
(Default setting for the BIOS switch: Boot from the main BIOS; default setting for the SB switch:
Dual BIOS)
• After the main BIOS is ashed, the system will reboot automatically and then DualBIOS
™
will
continue to update the backup BIOS. After completion, the system will reboot again and boot
from the main BIOS.
• Q-Flash Plus will update the main BIOS only if run without the CPU installed. The system will
shut down upon completion.
