2. Prepare your server. See “Removing or extending the server from the rack cabinet” on page 55.
3. Remove the server cover. See “Removing the server cover” on page 55.
4. Locate the BIOS recovery jumper on the system board. See “System board jumpers” on page 33.
Then, remove any parts and disconnect any cables that might impede your access to the jumper.
Note: Do not remove the memory modules or microprocessors.
5. Remove the jumper cap from the jumper cap storage. See “System board jumpers” on page 33.
6. Note the orientation of the jumper cap and then install the jumper cap on the BIOS recovery jumper.
7. Connect the server to an ac power source. The server turns on and then turns off automatically.
8. Move the jumper cap back to the jumper cap storage. See “System board jumpers” on page 33.
9. Wait for about 20 minutes for the TSM to recover the BIOS. To prevent permanent damage, DO

About RAID
RAID, an acronym for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, is a technology that provides increased
storage functions and reliability through redundancy. This is achieved by combining multiple hard disk drives
into a logical unit, where data is distributed across the drives in one of several ways called RAID levels.
When a group of independent physical hard disk drives are set up to use RAID technology, they are in a
RAID array. This array distributes data across multiple hard disk drives, but the array appears to the host
