Firmware dump for a board identified as IPMAL-BR3, revision 1.02, marked as tested and working, packed in a RAR archive of about 4.30 MB. The name does not state the manufacturer or flash chip, though IPMAL style codes usually appear on boards built for OEM desktops. Such an image is written to the BIOS SPI chip with a hardware programmer when a board fails to post after a bad update or corrupted flash. Compare the board code and revision on the PCB first, back up the existing chip, and confirm the image size equals the chip capacity.
