BIOS firmware for a Z97I-DRONE motherboard, version 1.0, stored in a 4.79 MB RAR archive; the name gives no brand, but the model naming resembles ECS Z97 boards. A technician would write the image to the SPI flash chip with a programmer to recover a board that fails to start. Before doing so, back up the existing chip, check that the file size equals the chip capacity and verify the model and version silkscreened on the PCB match.
