D.3 Recovering the BIOS Block with a USB Device
This feature allows the user to recover the main BIOS image using a USB-attached device
without additional utilities. A USB device such as a USB Flash Drive or CD/DVD ROM/RW
device can be used for this purpose.
Note:
a USB Hard Disk drive cannot be used for BIOS
recovery at this time.
The FAT (file allocation table) file system is supported by the recovery block, including FAT12,
FAT16, and FAT32, installed on a bootable or non-bootable USB-attached device. The BIOS
might need several minutes to locate the SUPER.ROM file if the media size is too large due
to the huge volumes of folders and files stored in the device.
To perform UEFI BIOS recovery using a USB-attached device, follow the instructions below:
1.
Using a different machine, copy the "Super.ROM" binary image file into the disc Root "\"
directory of a USB device or a writable CD/DVD.
Note 1:
If you cannot locate the "Super.ROM" file in your driver disk, visit
to download the BIOS package. Extract the BIOS binary image into a USB
flash device and rename it "Super.ROM" for the BIOS recovery use.
Note 2:
Before recovering the main BIOS image, confirm that the "Super.ROM" binary
image file you download is a version meant for your motherboard.
2. Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS image ("Super.ROM") into your USB
port and reset the system until the following screen appears:
3. After locating the new BIOS binary image, the system will enter the BIOS Recovery menu
as shown below:
