Trouble updating Intel s2600cp Bios in Server 2008
Posted on 2013-01-03
I need some help updating the Bios on my Intel S2600cp2. This is the first time I have used an actual intel board and my first time doing a full set-up of Server 2008 R2. I am following the direction from intel regarding the installation of the flash update drivers on my 64 bit OS. Then I go in and run the x86 flash update utility as directed. Where I am stumped is when it tells me:
6. Now you can run command with options (example: "flashupdt -u /tmp/flashupdt.cfg").
I need help figuring out what this is. I am a novice when it comes to code and DOS. I have tried running this exact code through the run command but it just tells me it can't find the file referenced. Please help.

open a CMD window and navigate to the location with the update files on
EG. if the files are on D:\BIOS you would type:
d:<return>
cd \ <return>
cd bios <return>
assuming the flashupdt.cfg file is in there as well, you would type the command as the instructions advise:
flashupdt -u flashupdt.cfg <return>
