Creating a BIOS Update Media

1.Obtain the BIOS update file through your server supplier or from the Intel World Wide Web site:

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

2.Copy the BIOS update file to a temporary directory on your hard disk.

3.From the C:\ prompt, change to the temporary directory.

4.To extract the file, type the name of the BIOS upgrade file, for example, EABIOSxx.

5.Press <Enter>. The extracted file contains the following files:

LICENSE.TXT

BIOINSTR.TXT

BIOS.EXE

MK_BOOTZ.EXE

6.Read the LICENSE.TXT file, which contains the software license agreement, and the BIOINSTR.TXT file, which contains the instructions for the BIOS update.

7.Insert the bootable diskette into drive A.

8.Extract the BIOS.EXE file to the diskette. From the directory that contains the BIOS.EXE file type:

BIOS A:

9.Press <Enter>.

10.The diskette now holds the new BIOS files, the Intel Flash Update Utility, and the recovery files.
