MSI Z97-S01 PC Mate BIOS 8MB BIOS

BIOS .rar 6.15 MB Shared

BIOS image for the MSI Z97-S01 PC Mate desktop motherboard, sized for an 8 MB flash chip according to the name, compressed into a 6.15 MB RAR. Desktop boards of this kind store firmware on a socketed or soldered SPI chip that can be rewritten with an external programmer when the board fails to post after a bad update. Dump and keep the existing contents first so serials and MAC data are preserved, and verify the extracted file is exactly 8 MB so it fits the chip.
