Recovering the BIOS (Crisis Mode)
If for some reason the BIOS is corrupted and the standard flash cannot
be used, use the BIOS Recovery Mode (exceptional BIOS recovery
operation) to restore the BIOS. To do this:
1 Format a new floppy disk.
2 Copy the BIOS files on to the floppy disk.
3 Shut down the PC Workstation.
4 Power off the PC Workstation and remove the power cord.
5 Remove the cover.
6 Set switch 1
to the DOWN position.
7 Insert the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive.
8 Reconnect the power cord and switch on the PC Workstation.
9 The PC Workstation boots from the floppy disk, then flashes the
BIOS. However, it should be noted, that during the flash process, the
screen remains blank. MaxiLife will display a message on the LCD
panel “RECOVERY MODE”.
10 The recovery process is finished when there are four beeps.
11 Power off the PC Workstation. Remove the floppy disk from the
drive. Remove the power cord.
12 Set switch 1
back to the UP position.
13 Replace the cover, reconnect the power cord, then reboot the PC
Workstation.
