Appendix D: UEFI BIOS Recovery

D.3 Recovering the Main 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 used. A USB flash device such as a USB Flash Drive, or a USB
CD/DVD ROM device can be used for this purpose. However, a USB Hard Disk drive cannot
be used for BIOS recovery at this time.
The file system supported by the recovery block is FAT (including FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32)
which is installed on a bootable or non-bootable USB-attached device. However, the BIOS
might need several minutes to locate the SUPER.ROM file if the media size becomes 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 Root "\"
directory of a USB device or a writable CD/DVD.

nary image file you download is the same version or a close version meant for your
motherboard.
2.
Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS image ("Super.ROM") into your USB
drive and reset the system when the following screen appears.
