Creating a Bootable Diskette

NOTE

If your drive A is an LS-120 diskette drive, you must use a 1.44-MB diskette as the bootable BIOS update diskette. The server is unable to recover a BIOS from an LS-120 diskette.

To create a bootable diskette using a DOS system:

Place an unformatted diskette in the diskette drive and format the diskette using the /s option.

Example: format a: /s

Alternatively, place a formatted diskette in the diskette drive and use the sys command. Example: sys a:

To create a bootable diskette using a non-DOS system:

1.Obtain the BIOS update file through your server supplier or from the Intel World Wide Web site:

http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/

2.Copy the BIOS update file to a temporary directory on your hard disk.

3.Change to the temporary directory.

4.To extract the files, double click on the BIOS update file, for example, EABIOSxx.EXE.

5.One of the extracted files is MK_BOOTZ.EXE. Double click on this file to extract the README.TXT file.

6.Follow the directions in the README.TXT file.

Creating a BIOS Update Media

1.Obtain the BIOS update file through your server supplier or from the Intel World Wide Web site:

http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/

2.Copy the BIOS update file to a temporary directory on your hard disk.

3.From the C:\ prompt, change to the temporary directory.

4.To extract the file, type the name of the BIOS upgrade file, for example, EABIOSxx.

5.Press <Enter>. The extracted file contains the following files:

LICENSE.TXT

BIOINSTR.TXT

BIOS.EXE

MK_BOOTZ.EXE

6.Read the LICENSE.TXT file, which contains the software license agreement, and the BIOINSTR.TXT file, which contains the instructions for the BIOS update.

7.Insert the bootable diskette into drive A.

8.To extract the BIOS.EXE file to the diskette, change to the temporary directory that holds the BIOS.EXE file and type:

BIOS A:

9.Press <Enter>.

10.The diskette now holds the new BIOS files, the Intel Flash Update Utility, and the recovery files.
