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 USB drive (a flash drive or a USB hard drive), or a CD-ROM, or from
the file location on the Web.
• Intel
®
Flash Memory Update Utility, which requires booting from DOS. Using this
utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a hard disk, a USB drive (a flash
drive or a USB hard drive), or a CD-ROM.
Both utilities verify that the updated BIOS matches the target system to prevent
accidentally installing an incompatible BIOS.
NOTE
Review the instructions distributed with the upgrade utility before attempting a BIOS
update.

®
splash screen is displayed by default. This splash screen can
be augmented with a custom splash screen. The Intel
®
Integrator’s Toolkit that is
available from Intel can be used to create a custom splash screen.
