DELL OPTIPLEX 990 bios

BIOS .zip 4.81 MB Shared

BIOS package for the Dell OptiPlex 990 desktop, supplied as a 4.81 MB zip. The name gives no board revision or version number, so check the extracted files to see whether they hold a raw SPI dump for a programmer or a Dell update executable. A raw image is used to recover a board after a failed update or a corrupted flash. Before writing anything, read and keep a backup of the existing chip, since it holds the service tag and system data. Also compare the file size with the flash capacity and check the motherboard form factor variant.
