Starting the backup server firmware

Use this information to start the backup server firmware.
The system board contains a backup copy area for the server firmware. This is a
secondary copy of the server firmware that you update only during the process of
updating the server firmware. If the primary copy of the server firmware becomes
damaged, use this backup copy.
To force the server to start from the backup copy, turn off the server; then, change
the position of the UEFI boot backup switch (change switch 1 of the SW4 to the on
position) to enable the UEFI recovery mode.
Use the backup copy of the server firmware until the primary copy is restored.
After the primary copy is restored, turn off the server; then, change back the
position of the UEFI boot backup switch (change switch 1 of the SW4 to the off
position).
