also be extracted locally to your hard drive and copied to a bootable USB flash drive or
other bootable USB media.
The Intel Flash Memory Update Utility allows you to:
• Update the BIOS and Intel Management Engine in flash memory
• Update the language section of the BIOS
NOTE
Review the instructions distributed with the update utility before attempting a BIOS
update.

(optional) to a bootable USB flash drive or other bootable USB media.

3. Manually run the IFLASH.EXE file from the USB device and manually update the
BIOS.
Updating the BIOS with the ISO Image BIOS Update
File
The ISO Image BIOS update allows for the update of an Intel
®
Desktop Board BIOS to
the latest production release regardless of the operating system installed on the
computer's hard drive and without the need to remove the BIOS configuration jumper.
It requires a blank CD-R, a read/writeable CD drive, and software capable of
uncompressing and writing the ISO image file to CD.
The image uses ISOLINUX* bootloader and automatically launches a script to upgrade
the BIOS via the Intel Flash Memory Utility.
