3 Updating the BIOS
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 how to recover the BIOS if an update fails.
Updating the BIOS with the Intel
®
Express BIOS Update
Utility
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 that 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 customer support World Wide Web site:
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/
2. Navigate to the D845EPT2 or D845EBG2 page and click the Express BIOS Update utility file
for the Desktop Board D845EPT2 or D845EBG2 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.
