ASUS Self-Recovering BIOS

ASUS-exclusive BIOS protection technology automatically recovers the system’s BIOS with a verified 

backup in the event of an update failure, preventing the need to replace or reinstall your hardware.

• 

Ensures safe BIOS updates

• 

Requires no additional software

• 

Provides automatic update failure detection and recovery

• 

Reduces maintenance frequency and costs

The system will automatically activate ASUS Self-Recovering BIOS after reboot from the 

BIOS update failure.

2.1 

BIOS setup program

Use the BIOS Setup program to update the BIOS or configure its parameters. The BIOS 

screens include navigation keys and brief online help to guide you in using the BIOS Setup 

program.

Entering BIOS Setup at startup

To enter BIOS Setup at startup:

Press <Delete> or <F2> during the Power-On Self Test (POST). If you do not press <Delete> 

or <F2>, POST continues with its routines.

Entering BIOS Setup after POST

To enter BIOS Setup after POST:

• 

Press <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Del> simultaneously. 

• 

Press the reset button on the system chassis. 

• 

Press the power button to turn the system off then back on. Do this option only if you 

failed to enter BIOS Setup using the first two options.

Using the power button, reset button, or the <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Del> keys to force reset from a 

running operating system can cause damage to your data or system. We recommend you 

always shut down the system properly from the operating system.
