Introduction

This download record installs version 4.1 of the Intel® SSD Firmware Update Tool.

---

Detailed Description

The Intel® SSD Firmware Update Tool provides the firmware update capabilities for the Intel® Optane™ Memory and Intel® Optane™ Solid State Drives listed in Release Notes.

The tool comes in the form of an ISO image and requires either a completely empty USB drive or a blank CD (with CD burning software and a read/writable CD-ROM drive).

The tool works outside of the operating system on the platform, so there are no OS requirements.

Getting started
