Manually Recovering the BIOS

A BIOS recovery can also be manually initiated. This option would be used only when the BIOS is corrupt, but the ROM checksum error does not occur during POST. To manually initiate a BIOS recovery, use the following steps:

1)Power down and unplug the system from the AC power source.

2)Move the recovery jumper at J1F2 from the storage position at pins 9 and 10 to cover pins 10 and 11. See the figure below.

3)Insert the Crisis Recovery Diskette into the A: diskette drive.

4)Plug the system into the AC power source and power it on.

5)A blue screen will be displayed and the recovery process will automatically run. The system will continue to beep throughout the recovery process. The recovery process is complete when the beeping stops.

6)Remove the diskette.

7)Power down and unplug the system from the AC power source.

8)Move the BIOS recovery jumper at J1F2 back to the original position, covering storage pins 9 and 10.
