Power-On Self-Test (POST) memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins. This chapter tells you how to update the BIOS by either using the Intel Express BIOS Update utility or the Iflash Memory Update utility, and how to recover the BIOS if an update fails.
Intel Flash Memory Update Utility You can obtain either of these files through your computer supplier or by navigating to the Intel Desktop Board DQ45CB page on the Intel World Wide Web site at http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop. Navigate to the Intel Desktop Board DQ45CB page. Under the “Software and drivers”...
CD-ROM, bootable USB flash drive, or other bootable USB media. The utility available on the Intel World Wide Web site provides a simple method for creating a bootable CD-ROM that will automatically update your BIOS. The Iflash BIOS update files can also be extracted locally to your hard drive and copied to a bootable USB flash drive or other bootable USB media.
BIOS could be damaged. Due to BIOS size and recovery requirements, a CD-R with the .BIO file in the root directory will be required. NOTE For more information about updating the Intel Desktop Board BIOS or recovering from a BIOS update failure, go to http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-022312.htm.
4. Then save your settings by pressing <F10>. Creating Your RAID Set 1. Upon re-boot, you will see the following Intel Matrix Storage Manager option ROM status message on the screen: Press <Ctrl-I> to enter the RAID Configuration Utility. Press <Ctrl-I> and enter the RAID Configuration Utility.
3. Finish the Windows installation and install all necessary drivers. 4. Install the Intel Matrix Storage Console software via the Intel Express Installer CD included with your desktop board or after downloading it from the Internet at http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/. The Intel Matrix Storage Console software can be used to manage the RAID configuration.
NOTE Intel Rapid Recover Technology does not support RAID 5. Intel Rapid Recover Technology can be Enabled or Disabled in the system BIOS menu. To enable Intel Rapid Recover Technology, complete following steps: 1. Enter the BIOS menu by pressing the <F2> key early during system POST.
Creating a Recovery Volume Using the Intel Matrix Storage Console To create a recovery volume using the Intel Matrix Storage Console, the system must be configured in RAID mode with two drives. Boot the system into Microsoft Windows and open the Intel Matrix Storage Console application.
There are two modes of updating or synchronizing the recovery disk with the master disk – either continuous update or manual update. To change from Continuous Update mode to Update On Request mode using the Intel Matrix Storage Console, select the Advanced mode from the View menu, right-click on the recovery volume, and select Disable Continuous Update.
Page 70
To un-mount the recovery disk, complete the following steps: 1. In the Advanced mode, right-click on the recovery volume name. 2. Select Access Recovery Drive Files. 3. Select OK on the information dialog box. The recovery disk is now un-mounted and reappears in Intel Matrix Storage Console.
