CONFIGURING SYSTEM BOARD JUMPERS

With the pre-installed SETUP utility, you can set desired passwords to protect the data stored in the server against access from unauthorized users. When you forget the passwords, however, you may want clear them. The following describes how to clear these passwords. You can also use the following procedure to clear the CMOS data in the server.

IMPORTANT: Clearing the CMOS data resumes the factory-set configuration data. After clearing the CMOS contents, change the setting as shown below. This setting is necessary for operating the server correctly.

!

!

Select [Advanced] → [Peripheral Configuration] → [Legacy USB Support] → [Disabled].

Select [Boot] → [Boot Device Priority] → [ATAPI CD-ROM Drive]

[1st Boot Device].

! Select [Boot] → [Boot Device Priority] → [Removable Drive] → [2nd Boot Device].

!Select [Boot] → [Hard Disk], and set the boot order.

To clear passwords or the CMOS data, use the jumper switch on the system board of the server. The following figure illustrates the jumper switch location.

IMPORTANT: Do not change any other switch settings. Any change may cause the server to fail or malfunction.

PSWD Clear: Pin for protecting/clearing the password

CMOS Clear: Pin for protecting/clearing the CMOS contents (The figure shows the factory-set.)
