Boot to UEFI
Restart your Proscenium system. During system startup, repeatedly press the Delete or F2 key to access the BIOS Settings Utility.
Run Instant Flash
In the BIOS Setup utility, navigate to the 'Tool' tab, then select 'Instant Flash' or 'Easy Flash'. The utility will scan your USB drive.

Critical Safety Warning
Flashing the BIOS firmware is a low-level operation with potential risks. A failed flash can render your system's motherboard non-functional.
- Ensure your computer is connected to a reliable, uninterrupted power source (using a UPS is highly recommended).
- Do not turn off, unplug, or press reset while the flash is in progress.
- If your Proscenium system is currently running stably, it is generally recommended to avoid updating unless you specifically need compatibility fixes listed in the changelog.
