Digital Prioris HX MP: BIOS problem

Denis Fokin — Wed, 18 Dec 2002 22:48:56 GMT

Dear sirs!

I have following problem with my server: This server was flashed with
wrong version of system BIOS. After that it does not boot. Setting
jumper to recovery position and booting from recovery boot diskette
does not help. Floppy disk does not spin at all.
I want to use a flash memory programmer, to reflash those chips with
right version of software, but there is one more problem:
There is 2 BIOS chips on the motherboard: E81 and E85. Does you know,
how is BIOS flashed into those chips? Even and odd bits, or mirrored?

Thank you for helping!

Did you solve your BIOS problem? Could you work out how the BIOS was loaded into the 2 flash roms?
Please let me know if you can.
Thanks,
Scott

Dear Scott!

I have found, that E81 is flashed with VGA BIOS and E85 - with System BIOS. I have put correct binaries in corresponding chips, but it does not help. Server is dead.
With hard heart I have decided to install in the case another motherboard with dual PPro.
If I can help, please, mail me directly: sanvean@mail.ru
