motherboard model.

drive, or hard disk. Note: The USB flash drive or hard disk must use FAT32/16/12 file system.
3. Restart the system. During POST, press the End key to enter Q-Flash. Note: You can access
Q-Flash by either pressing the End key during POST or the F8 key in BIOS Setup. However, if the
BIOS update file is saved to a hard drive in RAID/AHCI mode or a hard drive attached to an
independent IDE/SATA controller, use the End key during POST to access Q-Flash.
