To perform a Flash/BIOS recovery using the recovery jumper, use the following procedure. 1. Power-off the computer and remove the cover. 2. Move the system board Virtual clear CMOS/BIOS recovery jumper to the ROM recovery position. Refer to "Identifying parts on the system board" on page 28 or the label inside the computer for more information. Chapter 9. Additional service information 183
