8.2 BIOS Recovery Jumper
When the BIOS recovery jumper block is moved from its default pin position (pins 1–2), the server board
boots using a backup BIOS image to the UEFI shell, where a standard BIOS update can be performed. Refer
to the BIOS update instructions that are included with the firmware update package downloaded from Intel’s
download center website. This jumper is used when the BIOS has become corrupted and is non-functional,
requiring a new BIOS image to be loaded on to the server board.
Note: The BIOS Recovery jumper is only used to re-install a BIOS image in the event the BIOS has become
corrupted. This jumper is not used when the BIOS is operating normally to update the BIOS from one version
to another.
Note: System firmware update files are included in the firmware update package posted to Intel’s download
center website at http://downloadcenter.intel.com.
To use the BIOS recovery jumper, perform the following steps:
1. Power off the system and unplug the power cord(s).
2. Open the system chassis and access the “BIOS Recovery” jumper block.
3. Move the “BIOS Recovery” jumper from pins 1 – 2 (default) to pins 2 – 3 (BIOS recovery position).
4. Close the system chassis, plug in the power cord(s) and power on the system. The system
automatically boots to the EFI shell.
5. Update the BIOS using the standard BIOS update instructions provided with the firmware update
package.
6. After the BIOS update has successfully completed, power off the system and unplug the power
cord(s).
7. Open the system chassis and access the “BIOS Recovery” jumper.
8. Move the “BIOS Recovery” jumper back to pins 1 – 2 (default).
9. Close the system chassis, plug in the power cord(s) and power on the system. During POST, press
<F2> to access the BIOS setup utility to configure and save desired BIOS options.
