Recovery Boot Switch

1.Ensure that the system is powered off. Remove the PCI hot-plug cover. On switch SW4G1, slide or press switch number 2 to the right most position.

2.Ensure that the BIOS diskette is bootable and that all BIOS files to include the recovery file are on the diskette. The BIOS recovery file will have a *.rec file extension, for example, bios.rec. Insert the BIOS recovery diskette in drive A and then power on the system. After the system boots, the speaker emits a single beep and the recovery process begins. This takes about three minutes. When the recovery process completes, the speaker emits two beeps.

While in the recovery mode, there is no screen display on the monitor. The keyboard is disabled as the system automatically recovers BIOS. The following beep codes describe the recovery status.
