3.6 BIOS Updates
The BIOS can be updated using either of the following utilities, which are available on
the Intel World Wide Web site (see Section 1.2 on page 17):
• 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 hard drive), or a CD-ROM, or from
the file location on the Web.
• 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 hard drive), or a CD-ROM.
• Intel
®
F7 switch allows a user to select where the BIOS .bio file is located and
perform the update from that location/device. Similar to performing a BIOS
Recovery without removing the BIOS configuration jumper.
• Intel Visual BIOS Update Utility allows the user to select the BIOS .bio file from the
internet, USB device, hard disk drive, or other media.
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.
