Recovery Flow
The BIOS has an embedded recovery technique in the 'boot
block'. In the event that the BIOS becomes corrupt, the boot
block can be used to restore the BIOS to a working state. The
routine is called when the 'system block' of the BIOS is empty or
corrupt. The restore routine when called will access the USB
drive looking for a file named S2J_BIOS.CAP. This is the rea-
son the USB drive light comes on and the drive appears to be in
use. If the file (S2J_BIOS.CAP) is found it is loaded into the
'system block' of the BIOS to replace the corrupted information
To restore your BIOS copy the most recent version of your
mainboards BIOS file to a USB key and rename it
S2J_BIOS.CAP.
The recovery mode procedure is as follows:
1. Rename the good known BIOS as S2J_BIOS.CAP.
2. Plug in a removable USB disk.
3. Save the S2J_BIOS.CAP file into the removable USB
disk.
4. Short the BIOS recovery jumper. See
Mainboard Jumpers
.
5. Power on the server.
The system will automatically enter BIOS Setup menu and dis-
play a Recovery page as follows:

The recovery process begins.
