This chapter tells you how to update the BIOS by either using the Intel

®

 Express BIOS Update 

utility or the Intel

®

 Flash Memory Update Utility, and recovering the BIOS if an update fails.   

®

With the Intel Express BIOS Update utility you can update the system BIOS while in the 
Windows

†

 environment.  The BIOS file is included in an automated update utility which combines 

the functionality of the Intel Flash Memory Update utility and the ease-of use of Windows-based 
installation wizards.   

To update the BIOS with the Intel Express BIOS Update utility: 

1.  Go to the Intel World Wide Web site: 

http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/ 

2.  Navigate to the D815EEA2, D815EPEA2, D815EFV, or D815EPFV page and click the 

Express BIOS Update utility file for the board’s BIOS. 

3.  Download the file to your hard drive.  (You can also save this file to a diskette.  This is useful 

if you are updating the BIOS for multiple identical systems.) 

4.  Close all other applications.  This step is required.  Your system will be rebooted at the last 

Express BIOS Update window. 

5.  Double-click the executable file from the location on your hard drive where it was saved.  This 

runs the update program. 

6.  Follow the instructions provided in the dialog boxes to complete the BIOS update.
