Are you sure you would like to flash this device?
Flashing new firmware onto any hardware is potentially dangerous in that if the
procedure is interrupted or otherwise not able to complete, your hardware may be rendered
useless. Please proceed with caution. If there are any questions, please contact
Protectli support BEFORE proceeding.
Unless there is a compelling reason to update the BIOS, we recommend to stay with your
current known working BIOS version
