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: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/ 2. Navigate to the D955XCS page, click "[view] Latest BIOS updates," and select the Express BIOS Update utility file. 3. 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. 59
