In-Band Manual Recovery Method - Lenovo NeXtScale nx360 M5 Installation And Service Manual

The flash memory of the server consists of a primary bank and a backup bank. You must maintain a bootable

can either manually boot the backup bank with the UEFI boot backup jumper (JP2), or in the case of image
corruption, this will occur automatically with the Automated Boot Recovery function.
