The recovery media must contain the following files under the root directory: 1. RML.ROM 2. UEFI iFlash32 11.0 Build 8 (including ipmi.efi ) 3. *Rec.CAP 4. BIOS.nsh (update accordingly to use proper *Rec.CAP file) BIOS starts the recovery process by first loading and booting to the recovery image file (RML.ROM) on the root directory of the recovery media (USB flash drive). 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 BIOS.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. The following steps demonstrate this recovery process: 1. Power OFF the system. 2. Insert recovery media. 3. Switch the recovery jumper. Details regarding the jumper ID and location can be obtained from the Board EPS for that Platform. 4. Power ON the system. 5. The BIOS POST screen will appear displaying the progress and system automatically boots to the EFI SHELL. Revision 1.2 101 Intel order number G26942-003
