6. BIOS Update Procedures

Keeping your BIOS updated ensures optimal performance, compatibility, and security. There are two primary methods for updating the BIOS on your ASRock X870E Taichi Lite Motherboard:

6.1 USB BIOS Flashback

Ova metoda vam omogućava ažuriranje BIOS-a bez instaliranja CPU-a, RAM-a ili grafičke kartice.

1. Pripremite USB disk: Format a USB drive (at least 32GB) to FAT32.
2. Preuzmite BIOS: Preuzmite najnoviji BIOS file from the official ASRock webstranicu za vaš specifični model matične ploče.
3. Rename BIOS File: Izvucite preuzetu zip datoteku file i preimenujte BIOS ROM file to CREATIVE.ROM. Copy this renamed file to the root directory of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
4. Priključite napajanje: Ensure the motherboard is connected to the power supply, but do not power on the system.
5. Umetnite USB: Insert the USB drive into the designated USB BIOS Flashback port on the rear I/O panel (refer to Figure 5 for location).
6. Pokreni flešbek: Press and hold the USB BIOS Flashback button on the rear I/O panel for approximately 3 seconds until the LED light starts to blink.
7. Pratite napredak: The LED will blink during the update process. Wait until the LED stops blinking, indicating the BIOS update is complete.
8. Potvrdite ažuriranje: Uključite sistem i uđite u BIOS postavke (obično pritiskom na F2 ili Delete tokom POST-a) da biste provjerili ažuriranu verziju BIOS-a.

6.2 Instant Flash

This method requires a functional system with a CPU, RAM, and graphics card installed.

1. Pripremite USB disk: Format a USB drive (at least 32GB) to FAT32.
2. Preuzmite BIOS: Preuzmite najnoviji BIOS file from the official ASRock webstranicu za vaš specifični model matične ploče.
3. Copy BIOS File: Izvucite preuzetu zip datoteku file i kopirajte BIOS ROM file (no renaming needed for Instant Flash) to the root directory of your FAT32 formatted USB drive.
4. Umetnite USB: Insert the USB drive into any available USB port on the motherboard.
5. Enter BIOS Setup: Power on your system and press F2 or Delete during POST to enter the BIOS setup menu.
6. Access Instant Flash: Navigate to the 'Tool' menu and select 'Instant Flash'.
