NOTE

The CMOS should always be cleared after a BIOS update. You may encounter a
CMOS Checksum error or other problem after reboot. If so, try shutting down
the system and restarting. CMOS checksum errors require that you enter Setup,
check your settings, save your settings, and exit Setup.

Crisis Recovery Diskette

It is unlikely that anything will damage the BIOS. However, a recovery disk should be created to
ensure a quick recovery in case it happens. The following steps explain how to create the crisis
recovery diskette. If an incident occurs that corrupts the BIOS, such as the interruption of the BIOS
update process, see “

Recovering the BIOS

” for instructions on performing a BIOS recovery.

You can obtain the Recovery.zip file which is packaged together with the BIOS Update Package
from the Intel Support Web site at
