Updating the BIOS

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.
