BIOS Recovery Jumper
In the unlikely event that the BIOS update process fails or the BIOS becomes corrupted and no
longer allows the system to POST, the server board provides a BIOS recovery jumper, which
forces the system to boot to a DOS image on a removable media. The following procedure
should be followed only in the event the standard BIOS update process fails, the system can no
longer boot, and all other recovery methods have been exhausted.
Figure 30. BIOS Recovery Jumper
The following files must be located in the root directory of the recovery media:
1. xxxxxx.ROM
2. AFUDOS.EXE
Use the following steps to perform the BIOS recovery:
1. Power OFF the system and remove AC power.
2. Insert the recovery media.
3. Move the BIOS Recovery Jumper to pins 2-3.
4. Reapply AC power and power on the system.
5. The BIOS update will automatically begin once the appropriate files are detected
6. Once the BIOS Update has successfully completed, power down the system and
remove AC power.
7. Move the BIOS Recovery Jumper back to its default location on pins 1-2.
8. Power on the server and enter the BIOS Setup Utility when prompted to reconfigure
desired options.
