then connect the power cords to the system.
4. Turn the system on, and insert the Flash Memory Update Utility
diskette in drive A. After the system boots, the speaker emits a single
beep and the recovery process starts. This takes about three minutes.
When the recovery process completes, the speaker emits two beeps.
While in recovery mode, there is no screen display on the monitor. The
keyboard is also disabled as the system automatically recovers the
BIOS. The beep codes listed in Table 7 describe the recovery status.
5. Turn the system off, disconnect all AC power cords from the system,
and remove the access cover.
6. Move the jumper from pins 10 and 11 back to pins 9 and 10 to enable
the normal boot mode.
7. Replace the foam pad and the access cover, remove the diskette from
drive A, and connect the power cords to the system.
8. After running the special recovery mode, run the BIOS Setup or the
SSU to specify a new password. See “Security Menu” on page 92 and
“Security Add-in” on page 116 for information on setting passwords
