6.1CMOS Clear and Password Reset Usage Procedure
The CMOS Clear (J1D1) and Password Reset (J1D2) recovery features are designed such that the desired operation can be achieved with minimal system down time. The usage procedure for these two features has changed from previous generation Intel server boards. The following procedure outlines the new usage model.
1.Power down server. Do not unplug the power cord.
2.Open the server chassis. For instructions, see your server chassis documentation.
3.Move jumper from the default operating position, covering pins 1 and 2, to the reset / clear position, covering pins 2 and 3.
4.Wait 5 seconds.
5.Move the jumper back to default position, covering pins 1 and 2.
6.Close the server chassis.
7.Power up the server.
The password and/or CMOS is now cleared and can be reset by going into BIOS setup.
Note: Removing AC Power before performing the CMOS Clear operation will cause the system to automatically power up and immediately power down, after the procedure is followed and AC power is
6.2BMC Force Update Procedure
When performing a standard BMC firmware update procedure, the update utility places the BMC into an update mode, allowing the firmware to load safely onto the flash device. In the unlikely event that the BMC firmware update process fails due to the BMC not being in the proper update state, the server board provides a BMC Force Update jumper (J1E3) which will force the BMC into the proper update state. The following procedure should be following in the event the standard BMC firmware update process fails.
1.Power down and remove the AC power cord.
2.Open the server chassis. See your server chassis documentation for instructions.
3.Move jumper from the default operating position, covering pins1 and 2, to the enabled position, covering pins 2 and 3.
4.Close the server chassis.
5.Reconnect the AC cord and power up the server.
6.Perform the BMC firmware update procedure as documented in the README.TXT file that is included in the given BMC firmware update package. After successful completion of the firmware update process, the firmware update utility may generate an error stating that the BMC is still in update mode.
