Configuring the ME Firmware You need to disable the Manageability Engine (ME) firmware before updating the BIOS. Use the ME_DISABLE jumper to do this. • 1-2 position: Normal operation (default) • 2-3 position: ME disable To disable the ME firmware: Turn off the power to the computer and all peripherals.
Clearing CMOS You may need to clear the Setup configuration values (CMOS) if the configuration has been corrupted, or if incorrect settings made in the Setup Utility caused error messages to be unreadable. This procedure will clear the BIOS supervisor password as well. Use the CLR_CMOS jumper to clear the CMOS data.
BIOS Recovery When you boot up the computer and you hear one long beep, followed by a shorter one, the system BIOS is damaged. This maybe cause by an interruption during a BIOS flash procedure (e.g. a power outage) or a corrupted BIOS code, which will cause the system to go into an unbootable state.You need to access and execute the boot block program to reboot the computer and recover the regular BIOS code.
BIOS Update Updating the BIOS in DOS Mode Press the power button to turn on the computer and boot to DOS mode. Key in 'cd dostool'. (Go to BIOS path like "A:\DOSTOOL") Disable the ME firmware. See page 87 for instructions. Key in 'flash4M.bat' or 'flash4M'.
