2. Extract and rename the BIOS image le to M7I.CAP.
3. Copy M7I.CAP to the root directory of the USB ash disk drive.
4. Turn off the system and insert the USB storage device to the ROG Connect port.
5. Press the ROG Connect button and release when a ashing light appears, which
indicates that the BIOS Flashback function is enabled.
6. Wait until the light goes out, indicating that the BIOS updating process is completed.
• For more BIOS update utilities in BIOS setup, refer to section Updating BIOS in
