Recovering the BIOS

It is unlikely that anything will interrupt the BIOS upgrade; however, an interruption could damage the BIOS. The following steps explain how to recover the BIOS if an upgrade fails. The following procedure uses recovery mode for the Setup program.

NOTE: Because of the small amount of code available in the non-erasable boot block area, there is no video support. You will not see anything on the screen during the procedure. Monitor the procedure by listening to the speaker and looking at the floppy drive LED.

1.Turn off all connected peripherals, turn off system power, and disconnect the AC power cord.

2.Remove the access cover and expose the server board. For instructions, see the product guide accompanying your system.

3.Locate the server board jumpers.

4.Move the Recovery Boot (RCVRY BOOT) jumper from its normal position to the BIOS recovery position.
