Important Installation Notes:

- BIOS version 0099 added support for Microsoft Windows 8. Due to structural changes in version 0099, once a board has been converted to 0099 or later, it will no longer be possible to downgrade the BIOS to version 0048 or earlier. Attempting a BIOS downgrade to a previous version may fail – the board BIOS will remain at its current version.

If the computer's current BIOS version is 0048:

1. Check if the Intel Management Engine (Intel ME) Firmware is version 7 or 8.
- Press F2 during boot to enter BIOS Setup.
- Go to the Main → System Identification Information screen
- The Intel ME version is listed here.
- Press F10 to exit BIOS Setup.

2. If the Intel ME version is 7.x, use the BE0048.BIO file to do a BIOS Recovery and then check the Intel ME Firmware version again to confirm that version 8.x has been installed.

3. Then update to version 0099 before updating to any later BIOS version, using one of these methods:
- Express BIOS Update
- F7 BIOS Flash Update
- iFlash Update

4. Update to any later than 0099 BIOS version. Using one of these methods:
- Express BIOS Update
- F7 BIOS Flash Update
- iFlash Update

If the computer's current BIOS version is earlier than 0048:

1. You must first update to version 0048, using one of these methods:
- Express Update
- iFlash Update

2. Check if the Intel Management Engine (Intel ME) Firmware is version 7 or 8.
- Press F2 during boot to enter BIOS Setup.
- Go to the Main → System Identification Information screen
- The Intel ME version is listed here.
- Press F10 to exit BIOS Setup.

3. If the Intel ME version is 7.x, use the BE0048.BIO file to do a BIOS Recovery and then check the Intel ME Firmware version again to confirm that version 8.x has been installed.

4. Then you must then update to version 0099 before upgrading to any later BIOS, using one of these methods.
- Express BIOS Update
- F7 BIOS Flash Update
- iFlash Update

5. Update to any later than 0099 BIOS version. Using one of these methods.
- Express BIOS Update
- F7 BIOS Flash Update
- iFlash Update

There are no special steps required for updating from BIOS version later than 0099 to a more current BIOS version.

Important Notes:

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
