2.Extract and rename the BIOS image file to M5E.CAP.

3.Copy M5E.CAP to the root directory of the USB flash 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 flashing 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.
