Restoring BIOS Default Values

There are different ways to set the BIOS Configuration Settings to the Default Values. How it is done depends
on the situation.
The Bios Setup "Save & Exit" menu has an option for "Load Default Values". Selecting that option will
•
restore all BIOS Settings to their defaults.
Anywhere in Bios Setup, the <F9> function key will restore all BIOS settings to their default values.
•
When a Recovery Flash boot is performed, one of the steps in the Recovery process is to clear the BIOS
•
Configuration Settings, which sets the Default Values to them.
If the system does not boot, the server board jumper "BIOS DFLT" (BIOS Defaults) can be set by opening
•
the chassis, changing the BIOS DFLT jumper position (see section 6.2.1), closing the chassis and booting.
The momentary change of jumper position causes a flag to be set which will drive the BIOS on the next
boot to initialize settings to BIOS Defaults early in POST. See
The internal flag that is set by the BIOS DFLT jumper is the same flag that is set for a failed coin-cell
•
battery on the baseboard when AC power is removed. So when the battery fails, and the system is
rebooted, the BIOS Configuration Settings are set to their Defaults.
Option
The minus key on the keypad is used to change the value of the
Change Value current item to the previous value. This key scrolls through the
values in the associated pick list without displaying the full list.
The plus key on the keypad is used to change the value of the
current menu item to the next value. This key scrolls through the
values in the associated pick list without displaying the full list.

code than the plus key on the other keyboards, but will have the
same effect.
