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 Zpětný odkaz na BIOS z USB

This method allows you to update the BIOS without a CPU, RAM, or graphics card installed.

1. Připravte USB disk: Naformátujte USB disk (alespoň 32 GB) na FAT32.
2. Stáhnout BIOS: Stáhněte si nejnovější BIOS file from the official ASRock webstránky pro váš konkrétní model základní desky.
3. Rename BIOS File: Extrahujte stažený zip file a přejmenujte BIOS ROM file na CREATIVE.ROM. Copy this renamed file do kořenového adresáře vašeho USB disku naformátovaného v systému FAT32.
4. Připojte napájení: Ensure the motherboard is connected to the power supply, but do not power on the system.
5. Vložte 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. Spustit flashback: 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. Sledovat průběh: The LED will blink during the update process. Wait until the LED stops blinking, indicating the BIOS update is complete.
8. Ověřit aktualizaci: Power on the system and enter the BIOS setup (usually by pressing F2 or Delete during POST) to verify the updated BIOS version.

6.2 Okamžitý blesk

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

1. Připravte USB disk: Naformátujte USB disk (alespoň 32 GB) na FAT32.
2. Stáhnout BIOS: Stáhněte si nejnovější BIOS file from the official ASRock webstránky pro váš konkrétní model základní desky.
