Flash recovery boot block jumper

Attention:

If an interruption occurs during a Flash/BIOS upgrade, the BIOS might be left in an unusable state. The Boot Block jumper enables you to restart the system and recover the BIOS. During this process, machine type and serial number data stored in the BIOS is lost, so a normal flash update has to be done after a boot block recovery process to re-enter this information to the system BIOS. Please, notice that there will be some variations on the Flash/BIOS update process done after a boot block recovery process has been performed.

To perform a Flash/BIOS recovery using the recovery jumper, use the following procedure.

1.Power-off the computer and remove the cover.

2.Move the system board Virtual clear CMOS/BIOS recovery jumper to the ROM recovery position. Refer to “Types 8307, 8308, 8310, 8311, 8314, and 8315” on page 46 or the label inside the computer for more information.
