3.6 BIOS Updates The BIOS can be updated using either of the following utilities, which are available on the Intel World Wide Web site: • Intel® Express BIOS Update utility, which enables automated updating while in the Windows environment. Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a hard disk, a USB drive (a flash drive or a USB hard drive), or a CD-ROM, or from the file location on the Web. • Intel® Flash Memory Update Utility, which requires booting from DOS. Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a hard disk, a USB drive (a flash drive or a USB hard drive), or a CD-ROM. Both utilities verify that the updated BIOS matches the target system to prevent accidentally installing an incompatible BIOS. .. NOTE Review the instructions distributed with the upgrade utility before attempting a BIOS update. For information about Refer to BIOS update utilities /CS-022312.htm. 3.6.1 Language Support The BIOS Setup program and help messages are supported in US English. Additional languages are available in the Integrator’s Toolkit utility. Check the Intel website for details. Overview of BIOS Features 3.6.2 Custom Splash Screen During POST, an Intel® splash screen is displayed by default. This splash screen can be augmented with a custom splash screen. The Intel Integrator’s Toolkit that is available from Intel can be used to create a custom splash screen. • NOTE If you add a custom splash screen, it will share space with the Intel branded logo. For information about Refer to Intel® Integrator Toolkit Additional Intel® software tools ools.htm and 3.7 BIOS Recovery It is unlikely that anything will interrupt a BIOS update; however, if an interruption occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. Table 30 lists the drives and media types that can and cannot be used for BIOS recovery. The BIOS recovery media does not need to be made bootable. Table 30. Acceptable Drives/Media Types for BIOS Recovery Media Type Can be used for BIOS recovery? CD-ROM drive connected to the Parallel ATA interface Yes CD-ROM drive connected to the Serial ATA interface Yes USB removable drive (a USB Flash Drive, for example) Yes USB diskette drive (with a 1.44 MB diskette) No USB hard disk drive No Legacy diskette drive (with a 1.44 MB diskette) connected to the legacy diskette drive interface No For information about Refer to BIOS recovery cs-023360.htm Intel Desktop Board DX58SO Technical Product Specification 3.8 Boot Options In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a diskette drive, hard drive, USB drive, USB flash drive, CD-ROM, or the network. The default setting is for the diskette drive to be the first boot device, the hard drive second, and the ATAPI CD-ROM third. If enabled, the last default boot device is the network. 3.8.1 CD-ROM Boot Booting from CD-ROM is supported in compliance to the El Torito bootable CD-ROM format specification. Under the Boot menu in the BIOS Setup program, ATAPI CDROM is listed as a boot device. Boot devices are defined in priority order. Accordingly, if there is not a bootable CD in the CD-ROM drive, the system will attempt to boot from the next defined drive. 3.8.2 Network Boot The network can be selected as a boot device. This selection allows booting from the onboard LAN or a network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed. Pressing the
