11.6 BIOS Recovery Jumper
When the BIOS Recovery jumper block is moved from its default pin position (pins 1-2), the system will boot
using a backup BIOS image to the uEFI shell, where a standard BIOS update can be performed. See the BIOS
update instructions that are included with System Update Packages (SUP) downloaded from Intel’s
download center web site. This jumper is used when the system BIOS has become corrupted and is non-
functional, requiring a new BIOS image to be loaded on to the server board.
Note: The BIOS Recovery jumper is ONLY used to re-install a BIOS image in the event the BIOS has become
corrupted. This jumper is NOT used when the BIOS is operating normally and you need to update the BIOS
from one version to another.
The following procedure should be followed.
1. Turn off the system.
2. For safety, remove the AC power cords
3. Remove the system top cover
4. Move the “ BIOS Recovery ” jumper from pins 1 - 2 (default) to pins 2 - 3 (BIOS Recovery position)
5. Re-install the system top cover and re-attach the AC power cords
6. Power on the system
7. The system will automatically boot to the EFI shell. Update the BIOS using the standard BIOS update
instructions provided with the system update package
8. After the BIOS update has successfully completed, power off the system. For safety, remove the AC
power cords from the system
9. Remove the system top cover
10. Move the BIOS Recovery jumper back to pins 1-2 (default)
11. Re-install the system top cover and re-attach the AC power cords
12. Power on the system and access the <F2> BIOS Setup utility.
13. Configure desired BIOS settings
14. Hit the <F10> key to save and exit the utility.
Note: Warning When Upgrading to BIOS R0009 this will upgrade both the Primary and Backup BIOS due to
new security features added in this BIOS, going to previous BIOS Below R0009 is not recommended and may
cause board fault.
