Appendix D. Recovering the boot block image
This section provides instructions that should be followed only under the direction
of the IBM Service and Support team. Use these instructions only if you
encountered a power interruption during a software update.
Read "Safety notices" on page v before you continue with these instructions.
Creating a recovery CompactFlash card:
This procedure creates a copy of the thin client
firmware (hereafter referred to as flash image). You
need a CompactFlash card to complete this procedure.
Note: Once you create a recovery CompactFlash card
for an N2800e (machine type 8364) thin client, it can
only be used to re-flash an N2800e thin client.
1. Complete the procedure, "Removing the logic unit
to install parts" on page 45 before continuing.
2. Insert the CompactFlash card into the connector.
3. Move the jumpers into configuration 2 .
Note: All systems ship with jumpers installed in
configuration 1 .
4. Power on the thin client.
This requires you to reconnect the power cable to
the logic unit.
5. Wait for the system LED to flash green.
Note: If the system LED flashes amber, the image
was not created. Repeat the procedure, or see
"Resolving hardware problems" on page 31 for
problem determination.
6. Power off the thin client.
7. Remove the CompactFlash card and store in a safe
place.
8. Move the jumpers back into the default
configuration 1 .
If you do not move the jumpers back into
configuration 1 , your thin client may not function
properly.
9. See "Reassembling the thin client" on page 45.
