6.1
CMOS Clear and Password Reset Usage Procedure
The CMOS Clear (J1D1) and Password Reset (J1D2) recovery features are designed such that
the necessary 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. Remove AC power.
5. Wait five seconds.
6. Move the jumper back to default position, covering pins 1 and 2.
7. Close the server chassis.
8. Apply AC power.
9. Power up the server.
The password and/or CMOS is now cleared. You can reset it by going into the BIOS setup.
Note: Removing AC Power before performing the CMOS Clear operation causes the system to
automatically power up and immediately power down, after the procedure is followed and AC
power is re-applied. If this happens, remove the AC power cord again, wait 30 seconds, and re-
install the AC power cord. Power up the system and proceed to the <F2> BIOS Setup Utility to
reset the required settings.
6.2
BMC Force Update Procedure
When performing a standard BMC firmware update procedure, the update utility places the
BMC into update mode, allowing the firmware to load safely onto the flash device. In the unlikely
event 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 forces the BMC into
the proper update state. The following procedure should be followed 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
the BMC is still in update mode.
