Recovering the BIOS
It is unlikely that anything will interrupt the BIOS upgrade; however, an interruption
could damage the BIOS. The following steps explain how to recover the BIOS if an
upgrade fails. The following procedure uses recovery mode for the Setup program.
NOTE: Because of the small amount of code available in the non-erasable boot
block area, there is no video support. You will not see anything on the
screen during the procedure. Monitor the procedure by listening to the
speaker and looking at the floppy drive LED.
1. Turn off all connected peripherals, turn off system power, and disconnect the AC
power cord.

product guide accompanying your system.

BIOS recovery position.
