Recovering the BIOS
In the rare event that the BIOS becomes damaged a recovery process needs to be followed to return
the system to service. Two methods are available to recover the BIOS.

NOTE
BIOS recovery is the mode of last resort, used only when the main system BIOS will not come up.
Recovering the BIOS with the Crisis Recovery Diskette
Automatically Recovering the BIOS
If a ROM checksum error occurs during POST, the system will automatically enter BIOS recovery
mode. This is indicated by system beeping with one long beep followed by two short beeps. When
you hear this beep pattern, use the following steps to initiate an automatic recovery:
1. Insert the Crisis Recovery Diskette into the A: diskette drive.
2. A blue screen will be displayed and the recovery process will automatically run.
The system will continue to beep throughout the recovery process. The recovery process
is complete when the beeping stops.
3. Remove the diskette and power down the system.
4. Power the system up to restart it and confirm that the recovery was successful.
