C.1.5 Resetting the RCM to Factory Defaults
If the escape sequence has been forgotten, you can reset the controller to factory
settings.
Reset Procedure
1. Power down the AlphaServer system and access the server control module, as
follows:
Expose the PCI bus card cage. Remove three Phillips head screws holding the
cover in place and slide it off the drawer. If necessary, remove several PCI and
EISA options from the bottom of the PCI card cage until you have enough space
to access the server control module.
2. Unplug the external power supply to the server control module.
Locate the password and option reset jumper. The jumper number, which is
etched on the board, depends on the revision of the server control module.
NOTE: If the RCM section of the server control module does not have an
orange relay, the jumper number is J6. If the RCM section of the
server control module has an orange relay, the jumper number is J7.
3. Move the jumper so that it is sitting on both pins.
4. Replace any panels or covers as necessary so you can power up the system. Press
the Halt button and then power up the system to the SRM console prompt.
Powering up with the password and option reset jumper in place resets the escape
sequence, password, and modem enable states to the factory default.
5. When the console prompt is displayed, power down the system and move the
password and option reset jumper back onto the single pin.
6. Replace any PCI or EISA modules you removed and replace the PCI bus card
cage cover.
7. Power up the system to the SRM console prompt and type the default escape
sequence to enter RCM command mode:
^]^]RCM
8. Configure the module as desired. You must reset the password and modem
enable states in order to enable remote access.
