Because BIOS ashing is potentially risky, please do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS ashing may
result in system malfunction.
4-2 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.
4-2-1 Updating the BIOS with the Q-Flash Utility
A. Before You Begin
1. From GIGABYTE's website, download the latest compressed BIOS update le that matches your moth-
erboard model.
2. Extract the le and save the new BIOS le (e.g. 870USB3L.F1) to your USB ash drive or USB hard
drive. Note: The USB ash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 le system.
3. Restart the system. During the POST, press the <End> key to enter Q-Flash. Note: You can access
Q-Flash by either pressing the <End> key during the POST or pressing the <F8> key in BIOS Setup.
However, if the BIOS update le is saved to a hard drive in RAID/AHCI mode or a hard drive attached to
an independent SATA controller, use the <End> key during the POST to access Q-Flash.
