Description
BIOS dump for the Dell OptiPlex 980 desktop motherboard, supplied for an 8 MB SPI flash chip and packed as a RAR archive of about 2.7 MB. The uploader marked it as tested, though that is their own note and not something we have checked. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision match your board before flashing, and read out and save the original chip contents first so you can restore them if needed.
For the Dell OptiPlex 980 the catalog also has 1 schematic and 4 BIOS dumps.

Questions about this file
How do I flash this BIOS dump?
Write it to the SPI flash chip with a programmer such as the CH341A and a SOIC8 clip. Read and keep the original contents first, and check that the chip size matches the dump.
Will this BIOS work on my board?
Only if the board number and revision match: Dell OptiPlex 980. Dumps from a different board or revision can leave the board dead.
What does “clean ME” mean?
The Intel ME region in the dump has been reset, so it can be used on another board of the same model. Keep your original dump and transfer serial numbers if needed.
