F7 BIOS Flash Update Instructions
The F7 BIOS Flash Update allows you to update the system BIOS during the boot process and before the
operating system loads.
Important:
• Update the BIOS on your computer only if the newer BIOS version specifically solves a problem
you have. We do not recommend BIOS updates for computers that do not need it. You can view
all BIOS changes in the Release Notes included on the BIOS download page in Download
Center.
• Downgrading the BIOS to an earlier version is not recommended and may not be supported. An
earlier BIOS version may not contain the support for the latest processors, bug fixes, critical
security updates, or support the latest board revisions currently being manufactured.
• Before initiating a BIOS update, be sure to read and precisely follow the instructions included in
this document. You may wish to print the instructions for easy reference.
• If a BIOS update process is interrupted, your computer may not function properly. We
recommend the process be done in an environment with a steady power supply (preferably with
UPS).
• Before updating the BIOS, manually record all BIOS settings that have been changed (from
default) so they can be restored after completing the BIOS update.
• All images in this example are for illustration purposes only. You need to select the correct BIOS
files for your Intel NUC.
