Resetting passwords

If you forget the user or supervisor password, you can change the pin position of the clear CMOS jumper on the system board to bypass the user or supervisor password check. This enables you to reset these passwords.

Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD

The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD includes an easy-to-use setup and installation program that is designed for your IBM server.
