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 1.44 MB diskette, or a CD-ROM, or from the file location on the Web.
•
Intel
Flash Memory Update Utility, which requires creation of a boot diskette and
®
manual rebooting of the system. Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from
a file on a 1.44 MB diskette (from a legacy diskette drive or an LS-120 diskette
drive) or a CD-ROM.
Both utilities verify that the updated BIOS matches the target system to prevent
accidentally installing an incompatible BIOS.
NOTE
Review the instructions distributed with the upgrade utility before attempting a BIOS
update.
