Intel® Server Board S1200V3RP TPS BIOS Setup Interface

The Recovery procedure is included here for general reference. However, if in conflict, the
instructions in the BIOS Release Notes are the definitive version.
A BIOS recovery can be accomplished with images on backup flash blocks. The Recovery
medium in USB Flash Drive must contain the following files in its root directory:
 UEFI iFlash32 (including IFlash32.efi and ipmi.efi)
 *Rec.CAP (“*” is a prefix depending on the BIOS Release number)
 Startup.nsh (edited as necessary to use the proper *Rec.CAP file)
The *Rec.CAP files should be from the BIOS version which is currently installed on the system.
A mismatch between the Recovery files and the installed BIOS can cause unexpected failures
in Recovery.
The BIOS starts the recovery process by first loading and booting to the recovery images from
backup flash blocks. This process takes place before any video or console is available. Once
the system boots to this recovery image file, it will boot automatically into EFI Shell to invoke the
Startup.nsh script and start the flash update application (IFlash32.efi). IFlash32.efi requires
the supporting BIOS Capsule image file (*Rec.CAP).
After the update is complete, there will be a message displayed stating that the “BIOS has been
updated successfully" indicating the recovery process is finished. The User should then switch
the recovery jumper back to normal operation and restart the system by performing a power
cycle.
Step by step, this process goes as follows:
1. Power off the system. Removing AC power is not necessary but may be advisable due
to safety considerations, or if a riser or other hardware must be moved for access to the
BIOS Recovery jumper.
2. Open the chassis and move the BIOS Recovery jumper (marked BIOS RCVR) to its
“Recovery” position on pins 2-3. Details regarding the jumper location can be obtained
from the Technical Product Specification for the baseboard in the system. Restore any
hardware to its correct position and close the chassis.
3. Insert recovery media (prepared previously as described above).
4. Power on the system. A beep code of 2 beeps should sound, indicating the start of
Recovery.
5. If the Recovery Boot process fails prior to initializing video, there should be a 4-beep
code and the system should halt with a Recovery Progress Code displayed in the
Diagnostic LEDs.
6. The BIOS POST screen will appear displaying the progress, and the system will
automatically boot to the EFI SHELL.
7. The Startup.nsh file will execute automatically, and will initiate the flash update
(IFlash32.efi) with the new capsule file (*Rec.CAP). The regular IFlash success
message will be displayed at the end of the process, once the flash update succeeds.
