Troubleshooting

Using the Crisis Recovery Diskette if Necessary

The Crisis Recovery diskette may be used only if your computer’s BIOS fails or if
a BIOS upgrade is unsuccessful.

When using the Crisis Recovery diskette, you must remove any video option card
and enable the onboard VGA.

1. Turn off the server and make sure that the Onboard VGA jumper (J17, Figure

1) is installed (enabled).

2. Install a jumper on J39 (Figure 1) to set it to Recovery mode.

3. Insert the Crisis Recovery diskette into drive A and reboot the computer.

NOTE

Remember to remove jumper J39 to return it to

Normal mode after using the Crisis Recovery diskette.
