BIOS Updates

The BIOS can be updated using either of the following utilities, which are available on
the Intel World Wide Web site:
®
• Intel Express BIOS Update utility, which enables automated updating while in the
Windows environment. Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a
hard disk, a USB drive (a flash drive or a USB drive), or an optical drive.
®
• Intel Flash Memory Update Utility, which requires booting from DOS. Using this
utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a hard disk, a USB drive (a flash
drive or a USB drive), or an optical drive.
Both utilities verify that the updated BIOS matches the target system to prevent
accidentally installing an incompatible BIOS.
