ATTENTION!
Different Types of Boards:
There are two types of ZX-DU99D4 motherboards with significant hardware differences based on their BIOS versions:
-
For motherboards with BIOS versions equal to or older than (05/06/2023) ZX-DU99D4 DU994304:
- You must first backup your BIOS using FPT. Download it here (Note: AFUWIN does not create a full backup BIOS).
-
For motherboards with BIOS versions equal to or newer than (10/30/2023) ZX-DU99D4 DU994305:
- You must first backup your BIOS using FPT. Download it here (Note: AFUWIN does not create a full backup BIOS).
- These have different hardware and BIOS compatibility.
Important Notes:
- Flashing the wrong BIOS version can result in errors (b7) or (61). and you will need a ch341 and flip to flash your bios chip with yout backup.
- If you get error (AF), unplug the pc from power cord and press power for 5 seconds, this will erase your CMOS.
- To identify your BIOS version, check it in your BIOS settings. hit (DEL) when turn your PC on and discover your version.
Compatibility Update:
- I've created a port for motherboards with BIOS versions older than (05/06/2023) ZX-DU99D4 DU994304. (HERE)
- This allows older motherboard owners to use newer BIOS versions like (03/06/2024)ZX-DU99D4 V1.3 DU994306 (HERE)
- ZX-DU99D4 DU994305 AND NEWER DONT FLASH BIOS FROM HERE. I WILL DO MODS FOR THIS VERSION SOON AS POSSIBLE.
LASTEST BIOS FOR DU994304 AND OLDERS VERSIONS (HERE)
OLDER VERSIONS BELLOW!
LASTEST FIRMWARE WILL BE ONLY HERE. https://github.com/jwagnervaz/DUAL-CPU-ZX-DU99D4-V1.31-BIOSMOD/tree/main/LASTEST (05/06/2023)ZX-DU99D4 V1.3 this version have Server Intel ME version 3.1.3.131
ALTERNATIVE BIOS WITH DESKTOP INTEL ME https://github.com/jwagnervaz/DUAL-CPU-ZX-DU99D4-V1.31-BIOSMOD/tree/main/LASTEST-NEWME9 (05/06/2023)ZX-DU99D4 V1.3 This have ME 9.1.45.3000 Version and new AMIBIOS BIOS base (First port in the World)
All the other versions is for history changes.
I recomend use AFUWIN to flash. HERE (https://github.com/jwagnervaz/DUAL-CPU-ZX-DU99D4-V1.31-BIOSMOD/tree/main/TOOL%20FLASH) Make your own full Bios Dump before modding.
Important: After flash the rom with AFUWIN you may get error 67 (b7) . If this happen, press power button intill the PC turn off. Turn it on and Bios update will clear CMOS. this will prevent brick.
YOU NEED A GPU WITH UEFI BOOT SUPPORT. If you dont have, your Pc Will not BOOT. check compatibility WITH GPU-Z.
all my BIOS is compatible with ZX-DU99D4-V1.31,ZX-DU99D4-V1.12 (tested by @xWaRLoRDx), in theory it could work with all rev of this board till V1.31
