BIOS Recovery Procedure
This recovery procedure is a mechanism for reflashing
BIOS after a power failure or a crash during a normal
BIOS reflash.  To initiate a BIOS recovery on the 6640
Computer:
1. Insert the floppy drive into the parallel port, then inĆ
sert the 6640 Crisis Recovery" floppy disk into the
floppy drive.
2. Press and hold the Suspend/Resume button located on
the top I/O panel, then press the power button to turn
on the unit.
3. When the 6640 Computer's power is off, unplug the
floppy drive from the unit.
The crisis recovery is implemented in such a manner that
unit failure can occur at any point in the process without
causing undue problems.  If such a failure occurs, powerĆ
cycle the 6640 Computer and let it run again.
