Recovering the BIOS

The following sections describe how to recover the system BIOS.

1. 

Turn off the power and unplug the system and any peripherals.

!

WARNING

Turn off the system before you change any jumper settings.

2. 

Remove the access cover (see “Removing the Access Cover”).

3. 

Locate the Configuration jumper (J8E1) on the system board (see “Locating
the Jumper” in the previous subsection).

4. 

You may have to remove any installed expansion boards to access the
jumper (see “Expansion Board Removal”).

5. 

Remove the jumper block from pins 1-2. We recommend that you use
needle nose pliers to move a jumper.

6. 

Replace the access cover (see “Replacing the Access Cover”).

7. 

Connect system power cables and monitor.

8. 

Power on the system.

The system attempts to recover the BIOS. A recovery diskette is needed.

9. 

Power off, unplug the system and monitor, and remove the access cover.

10. 

Replace it on pins 1-2.

11. 

If you removed any expansion boards, replace them (see “Expansion Board
Installation”).

12. 

Replace the access cover. Reconnect the system power cables and peripheral
devices.

13. 

Power on the system.

14. 

Run Setup (see “Setup Utility”).
