Using the Iflash Memory Update Utility

With the Iflash Memory update utility you can update the system BIOS from a

bootable USB flash drive or other bootable USB media. The Iflash BIOS update files

can be extracted locally to your hard drive and copied to a bootable USB flash drive or

other bootable USB media.

NOTE

Review the instructions distributed with the update utility before attempting a BIOS

update.

CAUTION

Do not interrupt the process or the system may not function properly.

1. Uncompress the BIOS update file and copy the .BIO file and IFLASH.EXE to a

bootable USB flash drive or other bootable USB media.

2. Configure the BIOS or use the F10 key option during POST to boot to the USB

device.

3. Manually run the IFLASH.EXE file from the USB device and manually update the

BIOS.

It is unlikely that anything will interrupt a BIOS update; however, if an interruption

occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. Table 13 lists the drives and media types that

can and cannot be used for BIOS recovery. The BIOS recovery media does not have

to be bootable.
