this motherboard.

floppy disk drive or the USB port.
Press + during POST to display the following.
• This function supports devices such as USB flash disks, or floppy disks with
FAT 32/16 format and single partition only.
• Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent
system boot failure!
