This link contains the latest Stone release BIOS for this motherboard (v.3402).

This BIOS introduces support for the Kaby Lake series of CPUs.

Please Note: We always recommend that you use the official Stone BIOS for your systems, rather than motherboard manufacturer generic BIOSes. This ensures that any customisations are preserved. The new Skylake range of systems include an "online" BIOS update feature however this will not deliver the latest official Stone BIOS.

How to Flash the BIOS

Important Note: The most recent BIOS updates have included a Management engine update. You may need to complete the flash process twice to complete the update fully. The BIOS will prompt you if this required.

BIOS Settings to Note Before Flashing the BIOS

You may wish to note the BIOS settings below and check that they are still set correctly after completing the update procedure.

When to Flash The BIOS

We recommend that you only update your BIOS if you are experiencing a product issue or if you have been advised to perform the upgrade by Stone Support.

Note: During the BIOS update process do not disconnect or turn off the power as this will render the system inoperable.
