How do I perform a BIOS Recovery on an Intel® Server Board?
The BIOS Recovery procedure can be performed especially when the system BIOS has become corrupted and is non-functional, requiring a new BIOS image to be loaded on to the server board.
Notes |
The procedure is included here for general reference (see steps below), based on the current Intel® Server Boards. It is always important to check into the latest BIOS Release Notes as these will show the definitive version of the instructions, based on future Intel Server Board families/models. The System Update Package (SUP) is found at our Download Center. Make sure you unzip the contents of the update package and copy all files to the root of a previously FAT32-formatted USB flash drive. |
The BIOS will load and boot with the backup BIOS image without any display. When the compute module boots into the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) directly, the BIOS Recovery is successful.
Note |
If needed, refer to BIOS Update for Intel® Server Boards. |
System is completely unable to boot successfully to an operating system (OS), hangs during Power-On Self Test (POST), or even hangs and fails to start executing POST.
