3.7.1
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 flash
device, and name the file “SUPER.ROM” for the recovery process to load the file. A
USB flash device such as a USB Flash Drive, a USB CDROM or a USB CDRW
device can be used for this purpose:
1.
Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS image (the ROM files)
saved in a root directory into your USB drive.
2.
While turning the power on, press and hold <Ctrl> and <Home> at the same
time until the USB Access LED Indicator comes on. This might take a few
seconds.
3.
Once the USB drive LED is on, release the <Ctrl> and <Home> keys. AMI-
BIOS will issue beep codes to indicate that the BIOS ROM file is being
updated.
4.
When BIOS flashing is completed, the computer will reboot. Do not interrupt
the flashing process until it is completed.
3.7.2
Boot Sector Recovery from an IDE CD-ROM
This process is almost identical to the process of Boot Sector Recovery from a USB
device, except that the BIOS image file is loaded from a CD-ROM. Use a CD-R or
CD-RW drive to burn a CD with the BIOS image file in it, and name the file
“SUPER.ROM” for the recovery process to load the file.
3.7.3
Boot Sector Recovery from a Serial Port (“Serial
Flash”)
This process, also known as “Serial Flash,” allows the user to use a serial port to load
a BIOS image for Boot Sector recovery. This feature is usually used for embedded
systems that rely on a serial port for remote access and debugging.
3.7.3.1 Requirements
In order to use Serial Flash for Boot Sector Recovery, you will need to meet the fol-
lowing requirements.
• The “Target system,” the system that needs BIOS updates, must have a serial
