BIOS archive for the ASUS M5A97 desktop motherboard, with the name pointing to a 4 MB image, which corresponds to a 32 Mbit flash chip. Desktop technicians use such a file to revive a board after a failed update by programming the removable or soldered SPI chip with an external programmer. Check the exact board variant and revision printed near the PCIe slots, confirm the chip capacity matches the dump, and keep a backup of the current contents in case serial or MAC data must be restored.
