To support the latest CPUs, your motherboard often needs a BIOS update. Gerenal speaking, you couldn't update the BIOS without a CPU already installed and working—which is impossible if the motherboard doesn't recognize your new processor yet.
ASRock BIOS Flashback lets you update the BIOS with just a USB drive and power supply.
★ No CPU required.
★ No RAM required.
★ No Graphics Card required.
Simply plug the USB into the specific port and press the button.

6. Then plug your USB drive to the USB BIOS Flashback port
7. Press the BIOS Flashback Switch for about three seconds. Then the LED starts to blink

•If the LED light turns solid green, this means that the BIOS Flashback is not operating properly. Please make sure that you plug the USB drive to the USB BIOS Flashback port
