BIOS Recovery Mode
The BIOS Recovery Mode permits reflashing the BIOS when the flash ROM has been corrupted.
The sequence of events for automatic recovery is:
1. Insert recovery media and reset the system.
2. One beep indicates recovery media valid, and flash update started.
3. Approximately two minutes later, two beeps indicate flash update complete.
4. System automatically resets and starts the new BIOS.
WARNING
Warnings and cautions apply whenever the top cover of the system is
removed. Only a trained service technician should integrate, configure,
or service this system. See Important Safety Information before opening
your server system.
NOTE
BIOS recovery requires an “El Torito” formatted CD; alternate forms of
removable media including USB devices are not supported and will result in
a continuous beep code (approximately 1 beep every 2 seconds until the
system is powered down).
The BIOS Recovery Mode is initiated using the following procedure:
1. Unzip the recovery image and copy the SR870BH2.REC file onto the CD. SR870BH2.REC
should be the only file on the disk.
2. Power down the server.
3. Unplug both power cords from the server.
4. Remove the top cover from the chassis. See Removing and Installing the Top Cover.
5. Move the jumper at J5H1 Labeled ‘RCV BOOT’ from pins 1-2 to pins 2-3.
6. Reconnect the AC power and switch server power on. CD Recovery activity begins. One full
beep is emitted as the server begins to load SR870BH2.REC from disk to memory.
7. Wait two minutes. Two beeps indicate the BIOS recovery has completed successfully.
8. Remove the CD and power down the server.
9. Unplug both power cords from the server.
10. Move the jumper at J5H1 from pins 2-3 to pins 1-2.
11. Install the chassis cover. See Removing and Installing the Top Cover.
12. Reconnect AC power and power on the server.
13. Follow any other instructions in the BIOS release notes.
