Password Clear Jumper

If the user or administrator password(s) is lost or forgotten, moving the password clear jumper
(J17) to the clear position will clear both passwords. The BIOS determines if the password clear
jumper is in the clear position during BIOS POST and clears any passwords if present. The
password clear jumper must be restored to its original position before a new password(s) can
be set.

4.11 Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI)

When EFI is selected as a boot option, the BIOS will support an EFI Specification 1.10
compliant environment. More details on EFI are available at

invoked from the BIOS provided EFI environment. The EFI shell provided in flash implements all
the commands specified in the EFI1.1ShellCommands.pdf document that comes with the
EFI sample implementation, revision 1.10.14.62 (available from
