Cmos Clear And Password Reset Usage Procedure; Bmc Force Update Procedure - Intel S5000XSL Technical Product Specification

Intel® Server Boards S5000PSL and S5000XSL TPS
6.1

CMOS 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 re-applied. If this happens,, remove the AC power cord again, wait 30 seconds, and re-
install the AC power cord. Power up system and proceed to the <F2> BIOS Setup Utility to reset
the desired settings.

BMC 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.
