The flash memory of the server consists of a primary page
and a backup page. The J38 jumper controls which page is
used to start the server. If the BIOS in the primary page is
corrupted, you can use the backup page to start the server;
then boot the BIOS Flash Diskette to restore the BIOS to the
primary page.
To recover the BIOS:
1. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and discon-
nect all external cables and power cords; then, remove
the cover.
2. Locate jumper J38 on the processor board (see “Sys-
tem board switches and jumpers” on page 42). The
jumper consists of three pins, two of which are covered
by a jumper.
3. Move the J38 jumper from its current location to con-
nect the center pin and the pin on the opposite end of
the connector block, as shown in the following diagram:
