Recovering the BIOS
It is unlikely that anything will interrupt the BIOS upgrade, however, if an interruption
occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. The following steps explain how to recover the
BIOS if an upgrade fails. The following procedure uses the recovery mode for the
Setup program. See Chapter 3 for more information about Setup modes.
Note:
Because of the small amount of code available in the non-erasable boot block
area, there is no video support. You will not see anything on the screen during the
procedure. Monitor the procedure by listening to the speaker and looking at the
floppy drive LED.
