BMC setting jumper

When the BMC setting jumper is in the default normal position (pin 1 and pin 2), the server needs about 30 seconds for the BMC to initialize whenever you connect the server to an ac power source. If you press the power switch on the front panel during this period, the server will not start immediately; it will start after the BMC initialization finishes.

If you move the BMC setting jumper to pin 2 and pin 3, the server will be directly turned on when you press the power switch without waiting for the BMC ready. The BMC function might not be available in this situation.

2.Remove the server cover. See “Removing the server cover” on page 85.

3.Lay the server on its side for easier operation.

4.Locate the Clear password jumper on the system board and then move the jumper from the default normal position (pin 1 and pin 2) to the short-circuited position (pin 2 and pin 3).

5.Wait more than 10 seconds and then move the Clear password jumper back to the normal position (pin 1 and pin 2).

6.Reinstall the server cover and connect the power cord(s). See “Completing the parts replacement” on page 162.

7.Wait about 30 seconds. Then, turn on the server. The BIOS passwords are erased, including the administrator password and user password.
