CMOS Clear and Password Reset Usage Procedure

The CMOS Clear and Password Reset recovery features are designed for 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 and remove AC power.
2. Open server.
3. Move jumper from the Default operating position (Pins1-2) to the Reset/Clear position
(Pins 2-3).
4. Wait 5 seconds.
5. Move jumper back to default position (Pins 1-2).
6. Close the server chassis.
7. Reconnect AC and power up the server.
The password and/or CMOS is cleared and can be reset in BIOS setup.
6.1.2

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 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 AC power.
2. Open the server.
3. Move jumper from the Default operating position (pins1-2) to the Enabled position (pins
2-3).
4. Close the server chassis.
5. Reconnect AC and power up the server.
6. Perform the BMC firmware update procedure that is documented in README.TXT file
that is included in the given BMC Firmware Update package.
7. 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.
8. Power down and remove the AC power.
9. Open the server.
10. Move the jumper from the Enabled position (pins 2-3) to the Disabled position (pins 1-2).
11. Close the server chassis.
12. Reconnect AC and power up the server.
