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.

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).
