What is a 301 file?

301 files mostly belong to ASUS BIOS Utility. Files with the *.301 extension come from different fields. They are not one single format but may be used in a few technical areas. For example, one kind of *.301 file is a firmware update file used in ASUS laptops. In this case the file holds data for the BIOS update. You may see this file referenced on the ASUS Support site.
Another kind is an op-amp macromodel file used in circuit simulation programs such as OrCAD. It stores a subcircuit (macro-model) that simulates the behavior of an analog component.
A third type is used either to store parts of a 3D model or as a segment of a split archive file created by WinRAR. When you encounter this type, it is best to reassemble the parts with the appropriate archiving tool before opening them.
If you need to open a *.301 file, you must first confirm its use.
  • Use the dedicated BIOS update utility for firmware files.
  • Open op-amp macromodel files with a circuit design application.
  • If the file is a segment from a split archive or a part of a 3D model, try using an archiver like WinRAR or suitable 3D software.

  • Files with the extension 301 are often also jpg images or pdf documents, but zip compressed archives or medical images such as DICOM are also common. Use the Online 301 File Viewer on this page to find out the file format being used, and to view your 301 file.

    How can I open a 301 file?

    You need a suitable software like ASUS BIOS Utility to open a 301 file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your 301 file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a 301 file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
