SECTION 3 | 6620 Recovery Procedures |
BIOS Recovery
While it is rare, it is possible for the 6620 BIOS to become corrupted. If this occurs, a loss of power while performing a BIOS version update is the most likely cause. The 6620 Computer implements a BIOS Boot Block which allows the system to recover from BIOS corruption in most cases.
To recover the BIOS, insert an Emergency BIOS Recovery Floppy (provided by Intermec Technologies Corporation), and power on the system. If the Boot Block is not cor- rupted, but the rest of the BIOS is, the system sounds one long beep and two short beeps. At this point, the system scans the floppy drive for the recovery floppy. Once found, the disk is read into memory. About a minute after disk ac- cess stops, the system powers down. BIOS should now be recovered.
