Intel supplies a BIOS Flash Utility called fprog.exe to update the BIOS on
WIN32 configurations of the W
orkstation 5A. The QUNTICO.LOG, and
QCHKSUM.LOG files used by the Platform Update Utility are not required.
If a BIOS upgrade is required, it is posted in the form of a ZIP file on the
Workstation 5A page of the HSG Portal. To upgrade the BIOS in this manner, a
bootable USB thumb drive is required.
WARNING
When the screen shown above is visible, pressing the
power button or experiencing a sudden loss of AC Power,
could result in a corrupt BIOS chip.
