3.4 BIOS Updates
The BIOS can be updated using one of the following methods:
• 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 CD-ROM, or from the file location on the Web.
• Intel®
F7 switch during POST allows a user to select where the BIOS Capsule file .CAP file is
located and perform the update from that location/device. This is similar to performing a
BIOS Recovery without removing the BIOS configuration jumper. The F7 switch supports FAT,
FAT32, and NTFS format storage.
Both utilities verify that the updated BIOS matches the target system to prevent accidentally
installing an incompatible BIOS.
NOTE
Review the instructions distributed with the upgrade utility before attempting a BIOS update.

3.4.1 Language Support
The BIOS Setup program and help messages are supported in US English. Check the Intel web
site for support.
3.4.2 BIOS Recovery
It is unlikely that anything will interrupt a BIOS update; however, if an interruption occurs, the
BIOS could be damaged. Table 12 lists the drives and media types that can and cannot be used
for BIOS recovery and Table 13 lists the behaviors demonstrated by use of the Security Jumper.
The BIOS recovery media does not need to be made bootable. Location of Security jumper is
detailed in Figure 12.
