Recovery BIOS Update [MK0061P.BIO]
- A .BIO file to be used for F7 BIOS Update method or a BIOS recovery process. In the unlikely event that a BIOS update is interrupted, it is possible the BIOS may be left in an unusable state. Use the recovery BIOS update to recover from this condition. It requires a USB flash device or CD.
Important Notes:
- Do not interrupt the first boot process after the BIOS update by pressing hotkeys such as F2. Doing so may interrupt the Intel Management Engine (Intel ME) initialization causing the Intel ME firmware version to shown as 0.0.0.0 and/or Intel ME menu to not appear in BIOS setup.
- Downgrading the BIOS to an earlier version is not recommended and may not be supported. An earlier BIOS version may not contain the support for the latest processors, bug fixes, critical security updates, or support the latest board revisions currently being manufactured.
- Update the BIOS on your computer only if the newer BIOS version specifically solves a problem you have. We do not recommend BIOS updates for computers that do not need it.
- If a BIOS update process is interrupted, your computer may not function properly.
- Before updating the BIOS on the Intel Desktop Board, manually record all BIOS settings that have been changed (from default) so they can be restored after completing the BIOS update.
