If you install Intel® LAN utility or Marvell SATA utility, this motherboard may fail Win-

dows® Hardware Quality Lab (WHQL) certication tests. If you install the drivers only, it

will pass the WHQL tests.

1.3 Unique Features

ASRock Rack Instant Flash is a BIOS ash utility embedded in Flash ROM. is con-

venient BIOS update tool allows you to update system BIOS without entering operat-

ing systems rst like MS-DOS or Windows®. With this utility, you can press the <F6>

key during the POST or the <F2> key to enter into the BIOS setup menu to access

ASRock Rack Instant Flash. Just launch this tool and save the new BIOS le to your

USB ash drive, oppy disk or hard drive, then you can update your BIOS only in a

few clicks without preparing an additional oppy diskette or other complicated ash

utility. Please be noted that the USB ash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12

le system.
