Instructions for iFlash / ITK BIOS Files Update

The Iflash2 BIOS Update / Integrator Toolkit BIOS Files can update the BIOS from a bootable CD-ROM,

bootable USB device or other bootable USB media. This download also provides the necessary files for

Intel® Integrator Toolkit.

All BIOS update files for Intel® Desktop Boards are available on Intel's Download Center at

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/

Important Notes:

• 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 on the Intel® Desktop Board, 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 board.

iFlash2 Update with CD-ROM or USB Device

Use this method if the files are too large to fit on a diskette or if the desktop board does not include

diskette drive support. You will need a CD or a USB device, such as a portable USB device or USB

external hard drive.

At the appropriate directory prompt for the CD-ROM drive or USB drive, type IFLASH2 /pf XXX.BIO /rb (where XXX.BIO is the filename of the .BIO file) to launch the BIOS update process. Follow all prompts. Creating a Bootable USB Device Making a USB flash device into a bootable drive is not as simple as creating bootable diskettes.
