How to Recover the SP and BIOS Firmware Using a USB Flash Drive

1. Create a bootable MS-DOS USB flash drive.

   You can create a bootable USB flash drive using a freeware application such as BootFlashDOS 1.0.

2. Using a system that contains both a CD/DVD drive and a USB port, insert the Tools and Drivers CD into the CD/DVD drive and the bootable USB flash drive into an available USB port.
3. Copy the contents of the /firmware/USBFlash/SPREcovery/* directory from the Tools and Drivers CD to a bootable MS-DOS USB flash drive.
4. Insert the USB flash drive containing the contents of the Tools and Drivers CD into an available USB port on the Sun Fire X2270 M2 Server.
5. Power on (or reboot) the Sun Fire X2270 M2 Server.

   The BIOS screen appears.

6. In the BIOS screen, press F8 to specify a temporary boot device.

   The Select Boot Device menu appears.

7. In the Boot Device menu, select the USB flash drive as the first boot device, then press Enter.
8. Save the changes and exit the system BIOS.

   The system automatically boots to the USB flash drive.

9. Navigate to the directory on the USB flash drive that contains the contents of the Tools and Drivers CD.
10. In the terminal window, type the following command to run the recovery program:

    -> run recovery.bat

11. When the recovery program is completed, disconnect the AC power connection from the server for 30 seconds, then reconnect the AC power.

    Because the default ILOM and BIOS settings are automatically loaded when the SP and BIOS firmware is flashed, you might need to reset some of the ILOM and BIOS settings.
