Description
BIOS dump for a Dell OptiPlex 990 board, supplied as a ZIP archive of about 5.1 MB with separate images for 8 MB and 2 MB flash chips. The original file name refers to PWB REV A00, so the board revision appears to be A00. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after BIOS corruption or a failed update. Before flashing, confirm that the board number and revision on your motherboard match the file, and read and save the original chip contents first so you can restore them if needed.
