Clearing And Resetting System Configuration Settings; Enabling Rompaq Disaster Recovery Mode - Compaq ProLiant DL320 Setup And Installation Manual

Clearing and Resetting System
Configuration Settings
It may be necessary at some time to clear and reset system configuration
settings. When the system switch position 2 is set to the on position, the
system is prepared to erase all system configuration settings from both CMOS
and NVRAM.
IMPORTANT: Clearing CMOS and/or (NVRAM) deletes your configuration information. See
Chapter 6 for complete instructions on configuring your server.
1. Power down the server.
2. Set the system switch position 2 to the on position.
3. Power up the server.
All configuration settings are now erased and all system operations halt.
4. Power down the server.
5. Reset the position 2 switch to the default off position.
6. Power up the server.
7. Press the F9 key to run the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) and reset
all system configuration settings.
NOTE: For complete instructions on how to use RBSU, see Chapter 6.

Enabling ROMPaq Disaster Recovery Mode

A corrupted system ROM requires that you recreate the ROM BIOS by a
process called ROM flash. This operation can be accomplished only when the
system is in disaster recovery (emergency repair boot) mode. Set the system
switch (SW2) position 3 to On to enable ROMPaq disaster recovery mode.
IMPORTANT: Prior to performing this operation, refer to the Compaq Servers
Troubleshooting Guide for complete instructions on disaster recovery.
