Starting the backup server firmware

The system board contains a backup copy area for the server firmware. During the process of updating the server firmware, if the primary copy of the server firmware becomes damaged, use this backup copy.

To force the server to start from the backup copy, turn off the server; then, place the UEFI boot backup jumper in the backup position (pins 2 and 3) to enable the UEFI recovery mode. For the location of the UEFI boot backup jumper, see System-board switches and jumpers.

Use the backup copy of the server firmware until the primary copy is restored. After the primary copy is restored, turn off the server; then, move the UEFI boot backup jumper back to the primary position (pins 1 and 2).
