What is EuP?
EuP, stands for Energy Using Product, was a provision regulated by European Union to define the power
consumption for the completed system. With the great quantity and the popularly using of the electrical products
nowadays and the continuously increasing of the electrical products categories in the following 20 to 30 years,
European Union decided to establish an effective strategy to solve the energy consumption problem. That is,
according to EuP, the totalAC power of the completed system shall be under 1.00W in off mode condition.
ASRock X58 Extreme, Worldwide First EuP Ready Motherboard!
To meet EuP standard, an EuP ready motherboard and the EuP ready power supply are required. As a mother-
board vendor with eco-awareness, ASRock is the pioneer to develop “EuP Ready” motherboards based on the
great efforts of our exceptional hardware design.
Today, ASRock proudly announced that X58 Extreme is the Worldwide First EuP Ready motherboard. With X58
Extreme, you are confident to setup a system to pass the EuP standard.

ASRock Instant Flash is an exclusive and the most user-
friendly BIOS flash utility developed by ASRock. It is embed-
ded in Flash ROM which is used to update the system BIOS
without having to enter operating systems like MS-DOS or
Windows.
Once executing ASRock Instant Flash, the utility will automatically detect all devices such as USB, hard
disk or even floppy drive to find the exact BIOS for your system. Instead of giving you all BIOS in your
devices, the Instant Flash just list BIOS versions that apply to your motherboard model only. For
example, if you have many different BIOS of different motherboards saved in your devices, but you just
need to flash your P45 motherboard, the Instant Flash will just list the P45 BIOS versions for you. This
unique function allows you to easily select the suitable BIOS version instead of browsing through all data.
Features
Instant Flash just list BIOS versions
that apply to your motherboard model. Click and start Flashing!
Simple Quick!
ASRock Instant Flash is extremely user-friendly. You can access Instant Flash utility directly by
pressing F6 when you saw this page.
