Intel SE7500CW2 manual Changing the BIOS Language

1.Obtain the BIOS update file package from http://support.intel.com.

2.A file called “crisis.zip” is one of the files included with each Server Board SE7500CW2 BIOS release file package. Unzip the “crisis.zip” file to a directory on your hard drive.

3.Format a blank diskette (the diskette should not be a bootable DOS diskette). Insert the diskette into the diskette drive.

4.From the MS-DOS†prompt on an MS-DOS system, run the “crisdisk.bat” file from the directory you created on your hard drive. Follow the instructions on the screen to create the BIOS recovery diskette.

✏NOTE

The BIOS recovery diskette will not be created correctly under the MS-DOS window of a Windows operating system. It is necessary to use an MS-DOS system to create the BIOS recovery floppy diskette.

5.Power off the system, unplug the power cord, and remove the chassis panel.

6.Remove the spare jumper from pins 9-10 on jumper block J106 and install it on pins 1-2 (BIOS Recovery) of jumper block J106.

7.Insert the BIOS recovery diskette into the diskette drive.

8.Reinstall the chassis panel, plug in the power cord(s), and power on the system.

9.The screen will remain blank while the BIOS Recovery is performed. A number of beeps will occur during the BIOS update. The diskette drive access light will not turn off when the BIOS recovery is completed. Allow four minutes for the BIOS recovery to complete. If a POST card is installed in a PCI slot during the BIOS recovery, you can tell that the BIOS recovery is complete when code “EC” is displayed. When the BIOS Recovery is complete, it is safe to power off the system.

10.Power off the system, unplug the power cord(s), and remove the chassis panel.

11.Remove the BIOS Recovery jumper from pins 1-2 and store the jumper on pins 9-10.

12.Replace the chassis panel, plug in the power cord(s), and power on the system.

13.Perform a CMOS clear following the BIOS recovery.

Changing the BIOS Language

2.Select Update Flash Memory From a File.

3.Select Update Language Set. Press <Enter>.

4.Select drive A and use the arrow keys to select the correct .lng file. Press <Enter>.

5.When the utility asks for confirmation that you want to flash the new language into memory, select Continue with Programming. Press <Enter>.

6.When the utility displays the message upgrade is complete, remove the diskette. Press <Enter>.

7.The computer will reboot and the changes will take effect.
