Clearing the CMOS RAM

You may need to clear the Setup configuration values stored in the CMOS RAM if the configuration has been corrupted, or if incorrect settings made in the Setup utility have caused error messages to be unreadable. Clearing the CMOS RAM removes the administrator password.

Clearing the CMOS RAM can be done either by using the CMOS clear jumper, or by removing the CMOS battery. Go to page 47 for instructions on how to remove the battery.

To clear the CMOS RAM using the mainboard jumper:

1Perform the pre-installation instructions described on page 26.

2Remove the side panel from the chassis following the instructions on page 27.

3Locate the Clear CMOS jumper on the mainboard.

If necessary, remove any cables that prevent access to the jumper.

4Move the jumper from the default position (at pins 1 and 2) to the Clear CMOS position, covering pins 2 and 3.

5Reconnect the AC power and turn on the server.

6When the server begins to emit beeping sounds, power it down and disconnect the AC power.

7Move the Clear CMOS jumper back to its default position.

8Observe the post-installation instructions described on page 26.
