I have identified a new motherboard that I would like to upgrade. However on PCPartPicker I'm getting a compatibility error message saying:

Some Intel H81 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Haswell Refresh CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.

I have an i5-4460 and want to use it with this motherboard:

I'm concerned about the BIOS not being up to date. What do I need to do?
