Signifies it is designed for the EFI/UEFI environment (as opposed to the DOS or Windows versions).
: Often used to resolve hardware-level bugs, such as "abnormal on-board share NIC functions" on specific server systems like IBM/Lenovo System x3650 . How to Use It Preparation : Copy the file to a FAT32-formatted USB drive. Access : Boot the system into the UEFI Shell . is a powerful "surgical" tool for Intel networking hardware
Intel provides versions of EEUPDATE for various operating systems (such as eeupdatew64e.exe for Windows). However, the EFI version ( eeupdate64e.efi ) remains the preferred choice for engineers due to environment stability.
