Clear CMOS Request Jumper (J7E1)
Notes
To set, change, or delete a password, see
“System Security” on page 21.
If enhanced security is enabled, and you forget or
lose the administrator password, you must
replace the system board in the server to regain
access to the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
For more information, see “Using the Enhanced
Security Features” on page 24.
Clearing CMOS memory erases the configuration
of the server. Therefore, you must reconfigure
the server after clearing CMOS memory. If
possible, record the server configuration
information
before
moving the CMOS jumper.
To reset CMOS, do the following.
1. Locate the
Clear CMOS Request
jumper (J7E1) on
the system board.
2. Move the jumper from its normal position (pins 1 and
2) to pins 2 and 3. It might be helpful to use
needlenose pliers to move the jumper, but be careful
not to crush the jumper or to scrape any
system-board components.
3. Reinstall the server cover and reconnect the cables
(see “Completing the Installation” on page 56 for
instructions).
4. Power-on the server back on for approximately 10
seconds.
Caution
Do not touch any components while power is on.
5. Power-off the server. CMOS memory is now cleared.
Note
You might not be able to turn off the power using
the power switch until POST is nearly complete.
Unplug the power cord to turn off the server.
