BIOS Back Up

When the Primary BIOS fails, perform the following steps to revert to the factory BIOS.

• Turn off the power and remove the AC power to the power supply. Allow 30 seconds to ensure no standby power exists.
• Flip the “Dual BIOS switch” to B and reconnect power to the power supply. The ROM LED will glow indicating the Secondary BIOS has been loaded.
• Boot into BIOS and navigate to Power Management under the Advanced Menu. Disable EUP Function then proceed to save changes and reboot.
• Power off the PC and press and hold the "ROM_BACKUP" button for 5 seconds.
• The ROM LED will blink indicating it is currently loading the Secondary BIOS ROM into the Primary BIOS ROM.
• Back up is finished if the ROM LED remains on.
• Turn off the power and remove the AC power to the PC. Allow 30 seconds to ensure no standby power exists.
• Flip the switch to side A to load the Primary BIOS.
