3.6 BIOS Updates
The BIOS can be updated using either of the following utilities, which are available on the Intel
World Wide Web site:
• Intel
®
Express BIOS Update utility, which enables automated updating while in the Windows
environment. Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a hard disk, a 1.44 MB
diskette, or a CD-ROM, or from the file location on the Web.
• Intel
®
Flash Memory Update Utility, which requires creation of a boot diskette and manual
rebooting of the system. Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a 1.44 MB
diskette (from a legacy diskette drive or an LS-120 diskette drive) or a CD-ROM.
Both utilities support the following BIOS maintenance functions:
• Verifying that the updated BIOS matches the target system to prevent accidentally installing
an incompatible BIOS.
• Updating both the BIOS boot block and the main BIOS. This process is fault tolerant to
prevent boot block corruption.
• Updating the BIOS boot block separately.
• Changing the language section of the BIOS.
• Updating replaceable BIOS modules, such as the video BIOS module.
• Inserting a custom splash screen.

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