5.4.2.3Recovering BIOS

Although it is unlikely that the BIOS update process will be interrupted, BIOS could be damaged if an interruption does occur. In this case, you must recover BIOS.

IBecause of the small amount of code available in the non-erasable boot block, there is no graphics support. Therefore, you will not see anything on the screen during this procedure. You can monitor the procedure by listening to the beeps and looking at the LED on the floppy disk drive.

The procedure for recovering BIOS is described in detail in the section “Changing the switch settings” on page 39. After completing the procedure, leave the update disk in drive A and turn on the server. Then continue with the procedure for updating BIOS.

5.4.2.4Changing the BIOS language

You can use the BIOS update utility to change the language used for BIOS display. Use a bootable floppy disk containing the flash utility and language files.

ÊBoot the server with the bootable floppy disk in drive A. The user interface for the BIOS update utility is displayed on the screen.

ÊSelect Update Flash Memory From a File and then Update Language Set. Then press Ú.

ÊUse the arrow keys to select the appropriate lng file. Press Ú.

Ú.

ÊWhen the message Upgrade is Complete is displayed, remove the floppy disk from drive A and press Ú.
