2.3.16 Initiating Backup BIOS Flash

BIOS flash on the PXI-3980 is divided into Backup and Normal
sections.

In the event of a system malfunction causing the PXI-3980 to halt
or fail to boot, and clearing the CMOS fails to resolve the issue,
the BIOS flash backup switch (see Section 2.3.10 Onboard Con-
nections and Settings) can enable the backup BIOS flash. To initi-
ate BIOS flash backup, move the switch from Normal position

to Backup

NOTE:

NOTE:

Please contact technical support to resolve halting or failure to
boot issues caused by corrupted BIOS.
