Disabling the System Maintenance Password
If you are inthe System Maintenance menu, and you chooseInstall System Software, Run
Diagnostics, Recover System, or Enter Command Monitor, you may be prompted for a
password.
If you do not know the password, you can disable it by installing a jumper (a small cap
that connects two pins) onthe systemboardinside the workstation. The systemboardis
located in the system module. To install the jumper, you must first remove the system
module.
Goto Chapter 2, “PreparingtheWorkstation to Remove andInstallaCPUandMemory”
on page 38 and follow the instructions through “Removing the System Module.” After
the system module is removed, return here for instructions on disabling the password.
Note: The jumper is a small plastic cap that resides near the CPU. See Figure 8-13. The
jumper sits on the right two of three pins.
