How do I update the BIOS when not running Windows 7, Vista, Windows XP, or DOS? BIOS can be updated using the F10 setup "Flash System ROM" feature. Reboot the PC and press F10 to enter setup. In the File menu, select the "Flash System ROM" item. This flash utility will present the user with the option to select the media containing the BIOS image file (7H1_MMmm.bin). F10 ROM based flash can accept the binary file from the root directory of any removable media such as USB, legacy floppy diskette, and CD. Please note that some systems may contain a BIOS image that is too large for floppy media. Some models may not support a legacy floppy drive with the exception of a USB floppy device. On those systems, Diskette will not be listed as a media source choice. The BIOS CD Image file (XXX_MMmm.iso), included in the softpaq, should be used to create a BIOS image CD. When flashing with F10 ROM based flash, the CD media must be El-Torito compatible.
