System Utilities NOTE You may encounter a CMOS Checksum error or other problem after reboot. If this happens, shut down the system and boot it again. CMOS checksum errors require that you enter Setup, check your settings, save your settings, and exit Setup. Recovering the BIOS In the rare event the BIOS becomes damaged, you may need to follow a recovery process to return the system to service. To place the baseboard into recovery mode, move the BIOS Recover jumper (J1E5) located on the baseboard to the recovery position. The BIOS can then execute the recovery instead of the normal BIOS. NOTE The BIOS recovery is the mode of last resort; it is used only when the main system BIOS will not come up. BIOS Recovery Procedure 1. Download the BIOS image file to a temporary folder on your hard drive. See "Additional Information and Software" for a link to the update software. 2. Copy all the files in the BIOS recovery package to the root directory of a USB disk-on-key device. 3. Power off the system. 4. Switch the BIOS recovery jumper (J1E5) to the "enabled" position (ping 2-3). Figure 9. BIOS Recover Jumper Intel® Server Board S5520HC and S5500HCV Service Guide 32

You may encounter a CMOS Checksum error or other problem after reboot. If this happens, shut down the
system and boot it again. CMOS checksum errors require that you enter Setup, check your settings, save
your settings, and exit Setup.
Recovering the BIOS
In the rare event the BIOS becomes damaged, you may need to follow a recovery process to return the system to
service. To place the baseboard into recovery mode, move the BIOS Recover jumper (
J1E5
) located on the
baseboard to the recovery position. The BIOS can then execute the recovery instead of the normal BIOS.
NOTE
The BIOS recovery is the mode of last resort; it is used only when the main system BIOS will not come up.
BIOS Recovery Procedure
1.
Download the BIOS image file to a temporary folder on your hard drive. See
“Additional Information and
Software”
for a link to the update software.
2.
Copy all the files in the BIOS recovery package to the root directory of a USB disk-on-key device.
3.
Power off the system.
4.
Switch the BIOS recovery jumper (J1E5) to the “enabled” position (
ping 2-3
).
