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, place the UEFI boot backup
jumper in the backup position (pins 2 and 3) to enable the UEFI recovery mode. See "System-board switches
and jumpers" on page 27 for the location of the UEFI boot backup jumper.
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, move the UEFI boot backup jumper back to the primary position (pins 1
and 2).

The UpdateXpress System Pack Installer

The UpdateXpress System Pack Installer detects supported and installed device drivers and firmware in the
server and installs available updates.
