Resetting the BIOS
After a successful BIOS update, if one or more applications do not subsequently run you may want to clear the settings and return to the old BIOS settings. The NVRAM Clear jumper on the system board (J4A4) lets you return all BIOS settings to the factory defaults. Your server has three options available to recover the default configuration.
To recover the default BIOS settings using the BIOS Setup utility:

From the menu bar, select Save, Restore, & Exit, then click Restore Defaults.
Press F10 to save the changes and exit, then press Y at the prompt to save the changes.
The server reboots to the default BIOS settings.
To manually recover the default BIOS settings with jumpers:
1 Turn off the server, then disconnect the power cords and all other cables connected to the server.
2 Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 66.
Moving the jumper while the power is on can damage your server.
Caution Always turn off the server and unplug the power cords and all other cables before changing the jumper.
