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), a CD-ROM, or from the
file location on the Web.
Intel
®
F7 switch during POST allows a user to select where the BIOS .bio file is
located and perform the update from that location/device. Similar to performing a
BIOS Recovery without removing the BIOS configuration jumper.
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.

Updating the BIOS with the Intel® Express BIOS
Update Utility
With the Intel Express BIOS Update utility you can update the system BIOS while in
the Windows environment. The BIOS file is included in an automated update utility
that combines the functionality of the Intel Flash Memory Update Utility and the ease
of use of Windows-based installation wizards.
To update the BIOS with the Intel Express BIOS Update utility:
1.
Go to the Intel World Wide Web site Download Center at
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/
2.
Navigate to the DN2800MT page. Click on the ―BIOS Update‖ link and then
select the Express BIOS Update file.
3.
Download the file to your hard drive. (You can also save this file to a
removable USB device. This is useful if you are updating the BIOS for multiple
identical systems.)
4.
Close all other applications. This step is required. Your system will be
rebooted at the last Express BIOS Update window.
5.
Double-click the executable file from the location on your hard drive where it
was saved. This runs the update program. Follow the instructions provided in
the dialog boxes to complete the BIOS update
