System BIOS Intel® Server Boards S3200SH/S3210SH TPS 4.4 Loading BIOS Defaults Different mechanisms exist for resetting the system configuration to the default values. When a request to reset the system configuration is detected, the BIOS loads the default system configuration values during the next POST. The request to reset the system to the defaults can be sent in the following ways: ƒ A request to reset the system configuration can be generated using the BIOS System Configuration Utility (Setup). ƒ A reset system configuration request can be generated by moving the clear system configuration jumper. 4.5 Multiple Boot Blocks Two boot blocks are available on this server board. Multiple Boot Blocks fault tolerant realization requires the BIOS to: 1) recognize the second boot block and dispatch modules within it; 2) provide a flash update interface (for utility) that has an embedded fault-tolerant flash update algorithm so at any time, a set of boot blocks always exists that could recover the system if the flash update failed. 4.6 Recovery Mode The recovery process can be initiated by setting the recovery jumper, which is called force recovery). A BIOS recovery can be accomplished from SATA CD and USB Mass Storage device. Please note this platform does not support a recovery from a USB floppy. SATA CD image for recovery is created using El-Torito format image (which is bootable). The recovery media must contain both the image file FV_MAIN.FV in the root directory and the following files: 1. IFLASH32.EFI 2. *.CAP 3. Startup.nsh The BIOS starts the recovery process by first loading and booting to the recovery image file (FV_MAIN.FV) on the root directory of the recovery media (SATA CD or USB disk). This process takes place before any video or console is available. Once the system boots to this recovery image file (FV_MAIN.FV), it automatically boots into EFI Shell and invokes the Startup.nsh. and the flash update application (IFLASH32.EFI). IFLASH32.EFI requires the supporting BIOS Capsule image file (*.CAP). At last, there would be two short beeps indicating the completion of the recovery. User should switch the recovery jumper back to normal operation and restart the system by doing a power cycle. Revision 1.8 75 Intel Order Number: E14960-009

The recovery process can be initiated by setting the recovery jumper, which is called force

A BIOS recovery can be accomplished from SATA CD and USB Mass Storage device. Please

note this platform does not support a recovery from a USB floppy. SATA CD image for recovery

is created using El-Torito format image (which is bootable).

The recovery media must contain both the image file FV_MAIN.FV in the root directory and the

following files:

(FV_MAIN.FV) on the root directory of the recovery media (SATA CD or USB disk). This

process takes place before any video or console is available. Once the system boots to this
