BootBlock Emergency Recovery Mode
In the event of a failed BIOS update (for example if power is lost while updating), the System BIOS
may become corrupted. BootBlock Emergency Recovery Mode detects this condition and
automatically searches the root directory of the hard drive and any USB media sources for a
compatible binary image. Copy the binary (.bin) file in the DOS Flash folder to the root of the desired
storage device, and then power on the system. Once the recovery process locates the binary image,
it attempts the recovery process. The automatic recovery continues until it successfully restores or
updates the BIOS. If the system has a BIOS Setup password, you may need to use the Startup
Menu / Utilities submenu to flash the BIOS manually after providing the password. Sometimes there
are restrictions on which BIOS versions are allowed to be installed on a platform. If the BIOS that was
on the system had restrictions, then only allowable BIOS versions may be used for recovery.
