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 must complete the 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 next to the recovery position. The BIOS is then able to execute the recovery instead of the normal
BIOS.
/
NOTE
The BIOS recovery is the mode of last resort—use it only when the main system BIOS will not come
up.
