BIOS Recovery Mode (J1C3)

The Intel

Server Board S5500WB uses BIOS recovery to repair the system BIOS from flash

corruption in the main BIOS and Boot Block. This 3-pin jumper is used to reload the BIOS

when the image is suspected to be corrupted. For directions on how to recover the BIOS,

refer to the specific BIOS release notes.

You can accomplish a BIOS recovery from the SATA CD and USB Mass Storage device.

Please note that this platform does not support recovery from a USB floppy.

The recovery media must contain the following files under the root directory:

1. FVMAIN.FV

2. UEFI iFlash32 2.6 Build 9

3. *Rec.CAP

4. Startup.nsh (update accordingly to use proper *Rec.CAP file)

The BIOS starts the recovery process by first loading and booting to the recovery image file

(FVMAIN.FV) on the root directory of the recovery media (SATA CD or USB disk).

This process takes place before any video or console is available. Once the system boots to

this recovery image file (FVMAIN.FV), it boots automatically into the EFI Shell to invoke the

Startup.nsh script and start the flash update application (IFlash32.efi).

IFlash32.efi requires the supporting BIOS Capsule image file (*Rec.CAP).

After the update is complete, a message displays, stating the “BIOS has been updated

successfully”. This indicates the recovery process is finished.

The user should then switch the recovery jumper back to normal operation and restart the

system by performing a power cycle.

The following steps demonstrate this recovery process:
