So i’ve just received an Intel S5500BC motherboard in an Intel chassis. I’m not sure how to upgrade the BIOS in it. First of all I have Windows 2008 R2 (SP1) installed. So I thought I might try downloading the Intel update program
S5500_WIndows_4_2
I then extracted that and ran
Windows_OFU970_B17\OFU\Setup_Win.exe
.. which copied a bunch of files toC:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Flashupdt
.Now, in the command line, when I try to run
Flashupdt.exe
.. it’s asking for a flash/bios (config?) file. er…………………………………..this is where I’m stuck. What file is this? and where do i grab it from?
Clarrification (for the person who voted to close)
– This mother board is a SERVER motherboard
Answer
I figured it out 🙂
I could use EFI to upgrade but I had windows already installed, so I follow the instructions here about how to upgrade.
Bascially,
- Download windows bios upgrading software
- Download firmware (this was the file I couldn’t find)
-
Run the bios flash application and give it the folder name, where the firmware exists.
flashupdt -u <package folder name>
GLHF!
