17.3 Loading BIOS Defaults
Different mechanisms exist for resetting the system configuration to the default values. When a request to reset the
system configuration is detected, the BIOS loads the default system configuration values during the next POST. The
request to reset the system to the defaults can be sent in the following ways:
x Pressing <F9> from within the BIOS Setup utility.
x Moving the clear system configuration jumper.
x Issuing an IPMI command (set System Boot options command)
x Choosing Load User Defaults from the Exit page of the BIOS Setup loads user set defaults instead of the BIOS
factory defaults.
The recommended steps to load the BIOS defaults are:
1. Power down the system (Do not remove AC power).
2. Move the Clear CMOS jumper from pins 1-2 to pins 2-3.
3. Move the Clear CMOS jumper from pins 2-3 to pins 1-2.
4. Power up the system.
17.4 Clearing the BIOS Password
If the administrator password to the BIOS has been misplaced, a hardware reset may be performed to allow access to
the BIOS and Operating System.
To clear the BIOS Password:
1. Power down the system
2. Move the BIOS Recovery jumper (J6D1) (from pins 1-2 to pins 2-3.
3. Move the Clear CMOS jumper from pins 2-3 to pins 1-2.
4. Power up the system.
