Updating the BIOS
65
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, IFLASH2.EXE, and .ITK file
(optional) to a bootable USB flash drive or other bootable USB media.
2. Configure the BIOS or use the F10 key option during POST to boot to the USB
device.
3. Manually run the IFLASH2.EXE file from the USB device and manually update the
BIOS.
CAUTION
DO NOT POWER DOWN YOUR COMPUTER before the update is complete. The update
may take up to 5 minutes.
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.
You can obtain the Recovery BIOS Update file through your computer supplier or by
navigating to the Intel Desktop Board DX79TO page on the Intel World Wide Web site
Download Center at http://downloadcenter.intel.com
.
On the Intel Desktop Board DX79TO page, click on the “BIOS Update” link and then
select the Recovery BIOS Update file.
