hole marked in green on the I/O shield) then press the BIOS FlashBack™ button for three
seconds to automatically update the BIOS.
Please ensure to install the CPU to your ROG Strix B550-I Gaming motherboard to enable
BIOS FlashBack™.
To use BIOS FlashBack™:

We recommend you to use a USB 2.0 storage device to save the latest BIOS version for
better compatibility and stability.
2. Visit https://www.asus.com/support/ and download the latest BIOS version for this
motherboard.
3. Manually rename the file as SB550IG.CAP, or launch the BIOSRenamer.exe
