Updating the BIOS 
63 
 CAUTION 
DO NOT POWER DOWN YOUR COMPUTER before the update is complete.  The update 
may take up to 5 minutes. 
 
Recovering the BIOS 
It is unlikely that anything will interrupt the BIOS update; however, if an interruption 
occurs, the BIOS could be damaged.  Due to BIOS size and recovery requirements, a 
CD-R with the .BIO file in the root directory will be required.  
You can obtain the Recovery BIOS Update file through your computer supplier or by 
navigating to the Intel Desktop Board DH61CR page on the Intel World Wide Web site 
Download Center at http://downloadcenter.intel.com
.   
On the DH61CR page, click on the “BIOS Update” link and then select the Recovery 
BIOS Update file.
