With the Intel Express BIOS Update utility you can update the system BIOS while in the

Download the file to your hard drive.
(You can also save this file to a diskette.
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.
