BIOS image for the MSI Z97 Guard Pro desktop motherboard, with the name indicating board version 1.0, stored in a 4.84 MB RAR archive. Z97 refers to the Intel chipset of this board. A desktop dump of this kind is used to recover a board with corrupted firmware by reprogramming the SPI chip with a programmer such as a CH341A, or with a clip if the chip is soldered. Make a backup of the original contents before erasing, check the chip capacity against the image size, and confirm the PCB version printed near the slots matches.
