AMI BIOS Recovery
Follow these steps:
1.
Rename the desired AMI BIOS file to SUPER.ROM and save it on a USB key (root folder).
NOTE: The USB key does not have to be a bootable drive, but it must be formatted as FAT32.
2.
Attach this device to a USB port in the system, and press the power button to turn on the system.
