4.7.1 Boot Sector Recovery from a USB Device
This feature allows the user to recover a BIOS image using a USB device without
additional utilities needed. A user can download the BIOS image into a USB fl ash

device can be used for this purpose,

saved in a root directory into your USB drive.
While turning the power on, press and hold <Ctrl> and <Home> at the same 2.
time until the USB Access LED Indicator comes on. This might take a few
seconds.

updated.

ROM" for the recovery process to load the fi le.
