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 USB drive (a flash drive or a USB drive), or an optical drive. 

•  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 drive), or an optical drive. 

•  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. 

Both utilities verify that the updated BIOS matches the target system to prevent 
accidentally installing an incompatible BIOS.

It is unlikely that anything will interrupt a BIOS update; however, if an interruption 
occurs, the BIOS could be damaged.  Table 34 lists the drives and media types that 
can and cannot be used for BIOS recovery.  The BIOS recovery media does not need 
to be made bootable.
