Jumper Blocks Intel® Server Board S2400SC TPS
Intel order number G36516-002 Revision 2.0
jumper set to the enabled position. The server should never be run with the Integrated BMC
Force Update jumper set in this position. This jumper setting should only be used when the
standard firmware update process fails. This jumper should remain in the default/disabled
position when the server is running normally.
When the ME Firmware Force Update jumper is moved from its default position, the ME is
forced to operate in a reduced minimal operating capacity. This jumper should only be used if
the ME firmware has gotten corrupted and requires re-installation. The following procedure
should be followed.
Note: System Update and Recovery files are included in the System Update Packages (SUP)
posted to Intel

’s web site.
1. Turn off the system and remove power cords.
2. Remove Riser Card Assembly #2.
3. Move the ME FRC UPD Jumper from the default (pins 1 and 2) operating position to the
Force Update position (pins 2 and 3).
4. Re-attach system power cords.
5. Power on the system.
Note: System Fans will boost and the BIOS Error Manager should report an 83A0 error
code (ME in recovery mode).
6. Boot to the EFI shell and update the ME firmware using the “MEComplete####.cap” file
(where #### = ME revision number) using the following command: iflash32 /u /ni
MEComplete####.cap.
7. When update has successfully completed, power off system.
8. Remove AC power cords.
9. Move ME FRC UPD jumper back to the default position.
Note: If the ME FRC UPD jumper is moved with AC power applied, the ME will not
operate properly. The system will need have the AC power cords removed, wait for at
least 10 seconds and then reinstalled to ensure proper operation.
10. Install the PCI Riser.
11. Install the AC power cords.
12. Power on the system.
When the BIOS Recovery jumper block is moved from its default pin position, the system will
boot into a BIOS Recovery Mode. It is used when the system 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
and you need to update the BIOS from one version to another.
The following procedure boots the recovery BIOS and flashes the normal BIOS:
1. Turn off the system power.
2. Move the BIOS recovery jumper to the recovery state.
