Recovering the BIOS

If you encounter a problem while you are updating the BIOS, such as a power outage, the BIOS update may not be successful. If the system continues to try to boot from the new, corrupted BIOS, you can manually recover the old BIOS so you can try another update.

Important

This method does not work if the keyboard is connected through the KVM switch.

To recover the old BIOS:

1Insert a diskette (if a diskette drive is available), CD or DVD, or a bootable USB Disk-on-keycontaining the AMIBOOT.ROM file.

2Turn on or restart the server. Press and hold CTRL+HOME during power up until the recovery process begins (the server beeps). The process is complete when you see a message on the screen.

3Remove the diskette, the CD or DVD, or the bootable USB disk-on-key.

4Restart the server. The old BIOS is recovered.
