Tiger MPX (S2466N / S2466N-4M) BIOS

The BIOS' on the S2466/S2466N and the S2466N-4M not only have slightly different feature sets, but also are Flashed onto different size ROMs. If you have a S2466 or S2466N, and try to Flash to the BIOS for the S2466N-4M, the Flash update will not complete correctly. Likewise, S2466N-4M users will not want to utilize a BIOS intended for a S2466 or S2466N.

Please confirm your model number BEFORE proceeding with BIOS download and Flash procedures.

Please select the appropriate model:  S2466N  /  S2466N-4M
