HOW TO USE:

1.  Download the 03303T03.ZIP file to a temporary directory.

2.  Prepare a bootable media such as a floppy or a supported USB flash drive 
    and this media must have at least 1.2 MB amount of free space before 
    extracting.

2.  Unzip this zip file to this bootable media.

3.  Boot the server from the bootable media and execute the batch file or use recovery mode
    to flash your system BIOS.

    3.1 System BIOS upgrade - SYSFLASH.BAT
         
        Please run the sysflash.bat to update system BIOS
                   
    3.3 Recovery mode flash (supported using USB floppy only)
        
        This mode is used to recovery your system BIOS from previously failed BIOS flash. Please
        format a floppy disk that is not bootable, and then copy just the 03303T03.ROM file onto the
        floppy for ROM recovery.  There are three way to enter ROM recovery mode.

        	a) If BIOS finds system BIOS checksum is bad, your server will enter recovery 
        	   mode automatically.
        	b) Set switch SW1-3 to the ON position and power up or reset your server.  See
                   label inside the access panel for the switch location.
        	c) Press Ctrl+Home when powering-up the server.
               
5.  Please reboot the server after you hear 4 beeps.  If you have set SW1-3 ON to perform the flash
    recovery, please set it back to the OFF position before reset your server.
