BIOS Recovery Jumper

The following procedure boots the recovery BIOS and flashes the normal BIOS:
1. Turn off the system power.
2. Move the BIOS recovery jumper to the recovery state.
3. Insert a bootable BIOS recovery media containing the new BIOS image files.
4. Turn on the system power.
The BIOS POST screen will appear displaying the progress, and the system will boot to the EFI
shell. The EFI shell then executes the Startup.nsh batch file to start the flash update process.
The user should then switch off the power and return the recovery jumper to its normal position.
The user should not interrupt the BIOS POST on the first boot after recovery.
When the flash update completes:
1. Remove the recovery media.
2. Turn off the system power.
3. Restore the jumper to its original position.
4. Turn on the system power.
5. Re-flash any custom blocks, such as user binary or language blocks.
The system should now boot using the updated system BIOS.
