Notice: BIOS SPI ROM

1. The Intel

®

Management Engine has already been integrated into this system board. Due to

the safety concerns, the BIOS (SPI ROM) chip cannot be removed from this system board

and used on another system board of the same model.

2. The BIOS (SPI ROM) on this system board must be the original equipment from the factory

and cannot be used to replace one which has been utilized on other system boards.

3. If you do not follow the methods above, the Intel

®

Management Engine will not be

updated and will cease to be effective.

Note:

a. You can take advantage of flash tools to update the default configuration of the

BIOS (SPI ROM) to the latest version anytime.

b. When the BIOS IC needs to be replaced, you have to populate it properly onto the

system board after the EEPROM programmer has been burned and follow the

technical person's instructions to confirm that the MAC address should be burned

or not.
