Custom Splash Screen

During POST, an Intel® splash screen is displayed by default. This splash screen can

be augmented with a custom splash screen. The Intel Integrator’s Toolkit that is

available from Intel can be used to create a custom splash screen.

NOTE

If you add a custom splash screen, it will share space with the Intel branded logo.

BIOS Recovery

It is unlikely that anything will interrupt a BIOS update; however, if an interruption

occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. Table 30 lists the drives and media types that

can and cannot be used for BIOS recovery. The BIOS recovery media does not need

to be made bootable.
