Introduction

The Intel

One-Boot Flash Update Utility (Intel

on the Intel server boards while the operating system is running. The utility may be launched

from a command prompt in either the Windows* or Linux* Operating Systems. This utility can

also be executed remotely through a secure network connection using a Telnet Client and

Terminal Services in Windows* or using a Telnet Client and Remote Shell under Linux*.
