It is unlikely that anything will interrupt a BIOS update; however, if an interruption 
occurs, the BIOS could be damaged.  Table 35 lists the drives and media types that 
can and cannot be used for BIOS recovery.  The BIOS recovery media does not need 
to be made bootable.

BIOS recovery 

 

In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a hard drive, optical 
drive, removable drive, or the network.  The default setting is for the optical drive to 
be the first boot device, the hard drive second, removable drive third, and the network 
fourth.  

Booting from the optical drive is supported in compliance to the El Torito bootable 
CD-ROM format specification.  Under the Boot menu in the BIOS Setup program, the 
optical drive is listed as a boot device.  Boot devices are defined in priority order.  
Accordingly, if there is not a bootable CD in the optical drive, the system will attempt 
to boot from the next defined drive. 

The network can be selected as a boot device.  This selection allows booting from the 
onboard LAN or a network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed. 

Pressing the <F12> key during POST automatically forces booting from the LAN.  To 
use this key during POST, the User Access Level in the BIOS Setup program's Security 
menu must be set to Full.
