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 Desktop Board D845PESV page and click the Express BIOS Update utility file

for the Desktop Board D845PESV BIOS.

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.

5. Double-click the executable file from the location on your hard drive where it was saved. This

runs the update program.

6. Follow the instructions provided in the dialog boxes to complete the BIOS update.
