Starting

the

backup

BIOS

The

system

board

contains

a

backup

copy

area

for

the

BIOS

code.

This

is

a

secondary

copy

of

BIOS

that

you

update

only

during

the

process

of

flashing

the

system.

If

the

primary

copy

of

the

BIOS

code

becomes

damaged,

use

this

backup

copy.

BIOS boot backup (J21)

Password reset (J22)

Force update BMC (J48)

To

force

the

server

to

start

from

the

backup

copy,

turn

off

the

server;

then,

place

the

J21

jumper

in

the

backup

position

(pins

2

and

3).

Use

the

backup

of

the

BIOS

code

until

the

primary

copy

is

restored.

After

the

primary

copy

is

restored,

turn

off

the

server;

then,

move

the

J21

jumper

back

to

the

primary

position.

Using

the

ServerGuide

Setup

and

Installation

CD

The

ServerGuide

Setup

and

Installation

CD

includes

an

easy-to-use

setup

and

installation

program

that

is

designed

for

your

IBM

server.

The

ServerGuide

program

detects

the

server

model

and

hardware

options

that

are

installed

and

uses

that

information

during

setup

to

configure

the

hardware.

The

ServerGuide

program

simplifies

operating-system

installations

by

providing

updated

device

drivers

and,

in

some

cases,

installing

them

automatically.
