Table 6-1. System Board Jumper Settings

Jumper SettingDescription

1 PWRD_EN

(default) The password feature is enabled.

The password feature is disabled.

2 NVRM_CLR

(default) The configuration settings are retained at system boot.

The configuration settings are cleared at the next system boot. (If the configuration settings become corrupted to the point where the system will not boot, install the jumper and boot the system. Remove the jumper before restoring the configuration information.)

NOTE: For the full name of an abbreviation or acronym used in this table, see the "Glossary" on page 121.

Disabling a Forgotten Password

The system's software security features include a system password and a setup password, which are discussed in detail in "Using the System Setup Program" on page 23. The password jumper enables these password features or disables them and clears any password(s) currently in use.

NOTICE: See "Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge" in the safety instructions in your Product Information Guide.

1Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.

2Open the system. See "Opening and Closing the System" on page 38.

3Lift up the memory module shroud.

4Remove the jumper plug from the password jumper.

See Figure 6-1 to locate the password jumper on the system board.

5Close the system.

6Reconnect your system and peripherals to their electrical outlets, and turn on the system.

The existing passwords are not disabled (erased) until the system boots with the password jumper plug removed. However, before you assign a new system and/or setup password, you must install the jumper plug.

NOTE: If you assign a new system and/or setup password with the jumper plug still removed, the system disables the new password(s) the next time it boots.
