a

backup

copy

area

for

the

UEFI

(formerly

called

BIOS)

firmware.

This

is

a

secondary

copy

of

UEFI

firmware

that

you

update

only

during

the

process

of

updating

UEFI

firmware.

If

the

primary

copy

copy.

copy

is

restored,

turn

off

the

server;

then,

move

the

J29

jumper

back

to

the

primary

position
