Setting the system board jumpers 67
To recover the BIOS:
1 Turn off the computer, disconnect the power cord, then disconnect the
modem cord, if your computer has a modem.
2 Open the case. (See “Opening the case” on page 19 and observe the
“Static electricity precautions” on page 17.)
3 Remove the jumper from the JP6 jumper (see “System board” on page 8
for location) and set it aside. You will need it in a later step.
4 Close the case (see “Closing the case” on page 23 for instructions), then
reconnect the power cord.
5 Place the bootable diskette containing the BIOS files into drive A:, then
turn on the computer.
At the start of the BIOS recovery process, the computer beeps once. The
recovery process may take a few minutes.
6 When you hear two beeps, the BIOS has successfully recovered. Remove
the diskette from drive A:, turn off the computer, then disconnect the
power cord.
If you do not hear two beeps, the BIOS recovery was not successful. See
the following troubleshooting section for further information.
7 Open the case again. (See “Opening the case” on page 19 and observe
the “Static electricity precautions” on page 17.)
8 Place the jumper back on pins 1-2 on the JP6 jumper.
9 Close the case, reconnect the cords, then turn on the computer.
10 Enter BIOS Setup utility by pressing F1 when prompted during startup.
Once in BIOS Setup utility, press F9. The default settings for the BIOS
Setup utility are loaded.
Troubleshooting: If the BIOS recovery was unsuccessful the computer will
beep continuously or will not beep at all. If the computer beeps continuously,
make sure all the BIOS files you downloaded are on your diskette. If not, add
the missing files and try updating your BIOS again. If you continue to have
problems, contact Client Care or your system administrator.
