Power Button Menu BIOS Update Instructions

The Power Button Menu Update allows you to update the system BIOS during the boot process and before the
operating system loads.
Important:

Downgrading the BIOS to an earlier version is not recommended and may not be supported. An earlier
BIOS version may not contain the support for the latest processors, bug fixes, critical security updates, or
support the latest board revisions currently being manufactured.
If a BIOS update process is interrupted, your computer may not function properly. We recommend the
process be done in an environment with a steady power supply (preferably with UPS).
Before updating the BIOS, manually record all BIOS settings that have been changed (from default) so they
can be restored after completing the BIOS update.
All images in this example are for illustration purposes only. You need to select the correct BIOS files for
your Intel NUC.

All BIOS update files for Intel NUC products are available on Intel's Download Center at
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/.
1.

Download the Recovery BIOS (.BIO) file. Example:

2.

Copy the recovery file (*.BIO) to a USB device.

3.

Plug the USB device into a USB port of the Intel NUC when it is turned off (not in Hibernate or Sleep mode).

4.

Press the power button and hold it down. The system emits three short beeps from the PC speaker. You can
plug headphones into the front panel audio jack, if available on your Intel NUC, to hear the beeps.

5.

After the beeps, release the power button before the 4-second shutdown override

6.

The Power Button Menu appears. Options on the menu can vary, depending on the Intel NUC model.

7.

You can perform a normal BIOS update by pressing F7 or a BIOS Recovery by pressing F4.

8.

Wait 2-5 minutes for the update to complete.

9.

The computer will either turn off when the recovery process is completed or it will prompt you to turn it off.

10. Remove the USB device.


11. Restart the computer.

After any BIOS update, Intel recommends the following steps:
