To update the BRIX you’ll need to make a bootable USB drive and run AFUDOS with the appropriate. Updating The BRIX BIOS WIth a Bootable USB Drive & AFUDOS!

There is no desktop update utility included with the BRIX models since it’s basically a notebook interface, which is really disappointing as that means there isn’t too much you can adjust. Our GB-BSi7H-6500 model came with pre-production BIOS/UEFI F3 installed, so we updated the American Megatrends BIOS from F3 to the latest version right now and that just happens to be version F5.

Here is a shot of the GB-BSi7H-6500 with the Samsung SSD 950 Pro 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD ( $322.57) and G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB (2x4GB) 1866MHz DDR3L SO-DIMM kit ( $39.22) installed!

Where do you put the 2.5″ drive? There is a tray located in the bottom cover that you can secure a 7mm or 9.5mm thick 2.5″ drive to. If you don’t plan on installing a 2.5″ drive right away you can just remove this cable. The two slots for your DDR3L 1.35V memory kit are easy enough to find and then above that there is the 2.5-inch SATA III drive power/data cable taped down to the motherboard. Removing the base plates four Philips screws is simple enough and once the cover is removed you’ll be greeted with this: The BRIX GB-BSi7H-6500 With The Bottom Cover Removed


Since the Gigabyte GB-BSi7H-6500 comes without a storage drive and the memory kit, you must open it up and install the necessary hardware. Inside The Gigabyte GB-BSi7H-6500 & The BIOS
