Description

This is a BIOS dump, revision 01, supplied as a ZIP archive of about 1.4 MB under the original file name B40IA1 REV 01 CLEAR ME.zip. The file has been cleaned of its Intel ME region, as the "clean ME" mark indicates. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after BIOS corruption or a failed update. The facts here do not name a brand, model or board number, so confirm that the B40IA1 designation and revision 01 match your board before flashing. Back up the original chip contents first.
