QFLASH_PLUS (Q-Flash Plus Button)
Q-Flash Plus allows you to update the BIOS when your system is off (S5 shutdown state). Save the latest
BIOS on a USB thumb drive and plug it into the dedicated port, and then you can now ash the BIOS
automatically by simply pressing the Q-Flash Plus button. The QFLED will ash when the BIOS matching and
ashing activities start and will stop ashing when the main BIOS ashing is complete.
To enable the Q-Flash Plus function, please navigate to the "Unique Features" page of GIGABYTE's
website for more information.
