Hi Ahawk
How did you get recovery/restore to work as I'm having the same problem with my S1200BTS.
Was booting up OK but after updating BIOS software now just goes round in circles attempting to reboot every 10 seconds.
Than I did as per Intel instructions put latest BIOS S1200BTS_SUP_EFI_BIOS40.zip software onto USB in directory and moved recovery link on mobo. This did not work- still goeas round in circles.
Help

Some modifications need to be done to perform the BIOS recovery:
1. Make sure your USB key is formatted in FAT/FAT32 file system.
2. Copy the following files from the BIOS package to the root directory of your USB key:
BML.ROM
iFlash32.efi
R0040Rec.cap
flashScript.nsh
3. Open flashScript.nsh with Notepad and modify the file name in the second last line, so that the file looks like this:
echo Flashing S1200BTS BIOS...
iflash32 -u -ni R0040Rec.cap
echo -on
4, Rename flashScript.nsh to startup.nsh
5. Follow the BIOS RECOVERY INSTRUCTIONS in ReleaseNotes_BIOS_02.00.0040.txt.
After the recovery, perform a full BIOS update again so that the ME firmware is also updated.
Good luck!

Hi Edward
Did all you said and no luck-
Checked FAT32 format.
Just had files as per your instruction with iflash32 -u -ni R0040Rec.cap modified.
When powering up doesn't look like it goes anywhere near the USB.
Tried rear USB just in case cable to front panel is faulty.
Tried recovery link in both position as not really sure from mobo diagram document.

The BIOS recovery jumper (J2G1) should be in position 2-3 to perform a BIOS recovery.
Did you see anything on the screen when booting in recovery mode?

You have the USB key with recovery files on it attached right? What's the status of the POST LEDs?

Hi Edward
I have USB key with recovery files plugged in to rear port.
Led code is-
X X X O X O X O (North Bridge PEI Module Starts?) (Led ON=O, Led Off=X)
Does this code for a few seconds then powers off and then powers up again.
Board is fitted with-
CPU=I3 3320T
Memory= Kingston KVR1333D3E9S/8G
Power Supply=Antec Neo 400W
Same code with out HDD plugged in.

i3-3220T is not supported on this board... See http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-032414.htm Tested processor list.

Hi Edward
Thanks for the quick reply!
Can I use a G630 as the G620 is no longer available?

I don't know why G630 is not in the list... Looking at the specs I guess it might work, but since it's not validated you'll need to test on your own...

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I am having this same problem. I tried the steps here, but I am getting the same LED code as Greg. I have an i3-2100 processor in this system.

I just tried doing the update from a cd instead, and now the system is hanging with a different LED code. The code now is OOOO OXXO, which I can't even find in the manual.

Do you have display on screen? How did you update the BIOS? What kind of memory are you using?

The slash screen blinks up for a second, then the screen goes black. I was trying to do the BIOS recovery in the way you explained earlier in this thread, but it was unsuccessful. The memory is Crucial model ct51272ba1339.m18fd.

I saw the splash screen, briefly. Then nothing, a black screen.

Has the board ever worked before? Have you tested your CPU and memory on a working system?
