7.1.1 System Administrator/User Password Reset Procedure
In the event that the System Administrator and/or User password that are set up in the BIOS Setup utility
are lost or forgotten, the server board provides a Password Reset Jumper to clear both
passwords. The following procedure outlines the usage model.
To reset the password, perform the following steps:
1. Power down the server; do not remove AC power.
2. Open the server and move the jumper from the default operating position (pins1-2) to the
“reset” position (pins 2-3).
3. Power up the server.
4. The password is now cleared.
5. Power down the server; do not remove AC power.
6. Move the jumper back to the default position (pins 1-2) and close the server system.
7. The password can be reset by going into the BIOS setup.
7.1.2 CMOS Clear Procedure
To clear the CMOS, perform the following steps:
1. Power down the server; do not remove AC power.
2. Open the server and move the jumper from the default operating position (pins 1-2) to
the “clear” position (pins 2-3).
3. Wait 5 seconds.
4. Move the jumper back to the default position (pins 1-2).
5. Close the server system and power up the server.
6. CMOS is now cleared and can be reset by going into the BIOS setup.
Note: Removing AC power before performing the CMOS clear operation causes the system to
automatically power up and immediately power down after the procedure is followed and AC
power is re-applied. Should this occur, remove the AC power cord again, wait 30 seconds, and
re-install the AC power cord. Power up the system and proceed to the <F2> BIOS Setup utility
to reset desired settings.
7.1.3 Integrated BMC Force Update Procedure
When performing a standard Integrated BMC firmware update procedure, the update utility
places the Integrated BMC into an update mode, allowing the firmware to load safely onto the
flash device. In the unlikely event that the Integrated BMC firmware update process fails due to
the Integrated BMC not being in the proper update state, the server board provides a BMC
Force Update jumper, which forces the Integrated BMC into the proper update state. The
following procedure should be following in the event the standard Integrated BMC firmware
update process fails.
1. Power down the server and remove AC power.
2. Open the server and move the jumper from the default operating position (pins 1-2)
to the “enabled” position (pins 2-3).
3. Close the server system and reconnect AC power and power up the server.
4. Perform the standard Integrated BMC firmware update procedure as documented in
README.TXT file that is included in the given Integrated BMC Firmware Update
package.
