Description

From the original post:
Z97-MACHINE (V1.0)

BIOS dump for a desktop motherboard, distributed as a RAR archive of about 5.1 MB under the original file name Z97-MACHINE (V1.0).rar. The facts do not name a brand, model or board number, so the file name is the only identifier to match against your board. A BIOS dump is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Before writing anything, confirm the board model and revision match your motherboard, and save a copy of the original chip contents as a backup.

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: Z97-MACHINE (V1.0). 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.
