A. Before You Begin
1. In Windows, close all applicationsand TSR

helps prevent unexpected failures when performing
a BIOS update.
2. If the BIOS is being updated via the Internet, ensure
the Internet connection is stable and do NOT
interrupt the Internet connection (for example, avoid
a power loss or switching off the Internet). Failure to
do so may result in a corrupted BIOS or a system
that is unable to start.
3. GIGABYTE product warranty does not cover any
BIOS damage or system failure resulting from an
inadequateBIOSashing.

corrupt and the system may not boot.
