Recovering the BIOS
It is unlikely that anything will interrupt the BIOS upgrade; however, if an
interruption occurs, the BIOS may be damaged. In that case, you must
recover the BIOS.
The procedure for recovering the BIOS is detailed in “Recovery Boot
jumper” on page 178. After performing the procedure, leave the upgrade
disk in drive A and turn on the server, then continue with the BIOS upgrade
(see “Upgrading the BIOS” on page 95).
Note:
Because of the small
amount of code available in
the nonerasable boot block
area, there is no video
support. You will see
nothing on the screen
during the procedure.
Monitor the procedure by
listening to the speaker and
looking at the diskette drive
LED.
