Updating the BIOS with the Iflash Memory Update Utility

With the Iflash Memory update utility you can update the system BIOS from a bootable CD-ROM, bootable USB flash drive, or other bootable USB media. The utility available on the Intel World Wide Web site provides a simple method for creating a bootable CD-ROM that will automatically update your BIOS. The Iflash BIOS update files can also be extracted locally to your hard drive and copied to a bootable USB flash drive or other bootable USB media.

The Iflash Memory update utility allows you to update the BIOS and Intel Management Engine in flash memory.

NOTE

Review the instructions distributed with the update utility before attempting a BIOS update.

CAUTION

Do not interrupt the process or the system may not function properly.

1.Uncompress the BIOS update file and copy the .BIO file, IFLASH.EXE, and .ITK file (optional) to a bootable USB flash drive or other bootable USB media.

2.Configure the BIOS or use the F10 option during POST to boot to the USB device.

3.Manually run the IFLASH.EXE file from the USB device and manually update the BIOS.

Recovering the BIOS

It is unlikely that anything will interrupt the BIOS update; however, if an interruption occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. Due to BIOS size and recovery requirements, a CD-R with the .BIO file in the root directory will be required.
