AFS OptiPlex990 BIOS PWB REV A00 2MB & 8MB BIOS

BIOS .rar 4.84 MB Shared

BIOS set for the Dell OptiPlex 990 desktop, PWB revision A00, containing images for both 2 MB and 8 MB flash chips in a 4.84 MB RAR. OptiPlex boards of this era often split firmware across two SPI chips, so each image must go to the chip of matching capacity. Technicians use these dumps to recover boards that will not post or show ME errors. Check the PWB revision on the board, read and save both original chips first, and never swap the 2 MB and 8 MB images.
