Three conditions can cause the system to enter recovery mode:
4.4.5.1
The BIOS has a ROM image size of 2MB. A standard 1.44MB floppy diskette cannot hold the
entire ROM file due to the large file size. To compensate for this, a multi-disk recovery method
is available for BIOS recovery.
The BIOS contains a primary and secondary partition, and can support rolling BIOS updates.
The recovery process performs an update on the secondary partition in the same fashion that
the normal flash update process updates the secondary partition. After recovery is complete and
the power is cycled to the system, the BIOS partitions switch and the code executing POST will
be the code that was just flashed from the recovery media.
The BIOS is made up of a boot block recovery section, a main BIOS section, an OEM logo/user
binary section, and an NVRAM section. The NVRAM section will either be preserved or
destroyed based on a hot-key press during invocation of the recovery. All the other sections of
the secondary BIOS will be updated during the recovery process. If an OEM wishes to preserve
the OEM section across an update, it is recommended that the OEM modify the provided
AMIBOOT.ROM file with the user binary or OEM logo tools before performing the recovery.
A BIOS recovery can be accomplished from one of the following devices: a standard 1.44 or
2.88 MB floppy drive, an USB Disk-On-Key, an ATAPI CD-ROM/DVD, an ATAPI ZIP drive, or a
LS-120/LS-240 removable drive.
The recovery media must include the BIOS image file, AMIBOOT.ROM.
The recovery mode procedure is as follows:
Revision 2.1
1. Insert or plug-in the recovery media with the AMIBOOT.ROM file.
2. Power on the system. When progress code E9 is displayed on port 80h, the system will
3. When F3 is displayed on port 80h, the system will read the BIOS image file.
4. The screen will display flash progress and indicate whether the NVRAM and CMOS
5. When recovery mode is complete, the system will halt and the system can be powered
