Hi,
we've tried to update the MB BIOS to the latest version available at the site (068).
Download Security BIOS update for S5500/S5520 products
The original version we had - 038.
The flashing went without any errors. According to the startup.nsh the first step has been the flashing of the transition capsule (IFlash32.efi T066.cap /u /ni).
After the first reboot server won't start: no video and a continuous beep from the RAID controller board beeper (midplane).
And the BIOS recovery procedure won't boot it either:
- put the bios recovery jumper to the pins 2-3,
- prepare the USB flash drive (FAT32) with the FVMAIN.FV file
And the BIOS recovery procedure won't boot it either. The video won't come up, the flash drive flashes and then the diagnostic LEDs switch to some combination that we were unable to find in the board technical manual.
The video is linked below.
BTW, the CPU is Xeon 5520 .
Any ideas on why the recovery procedure fails?
Is there any ports on the board to reprogram the flash chip without unsoldering?
Thanks in advance!
