Password Clear Jumper Block

This jumper causes both the User password and the Administrator password to be cleared if they were set.
The operator should be aware that this creates a security gap until passwords have been installed again
through the <F2> BIOS Setup utility. This is the only method that the Administrator and User passwords can
be cleared unconditionally. Other than this jumper, passwords can only be set or cleared by changing them
explicitly in BIOS Setup. No method of resetting BIOS configuration settings to default values will affect
either the Administrator or User passwords.
1. Power down the server and disconnect the AC power cord.
2. Remove the system top cover.
3. Move the "Password Clear" jumper from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3 (password clear position).
4. Re-install the system top cover and re-attach the power cord.
5. Power up the server and access the <F2> BIOS Setup utility.
6. Verify the password clear operation was successful by viewing the Error Manager screen. Two errors
should be logged:
5221 Passwords cleared by jumper
5224 Password clear jumper is set
7. Exit the BIOS Setup utility and power down the server. For safety, remove the AC power cord.
8. Remove the system top cover and move the "Password Clear" jumper back to pins 1-2 (default).
9. Re-install the system top cover and reattach the AC power cord.
10. Power up the server.
11. Strongly recommended: Boot into <F2> BIOS Setup immediately, go to the Security tab and set the
Administrator and User passwords if you intend to use BIOS password protection.
6.2.3 Intel® Management Engine (Intel® ME) Firmware Force Update Jumper Block
When the Intel ME Firmware Force Update jumper is moved from its default position, the Intel ME is forced
to operate in a reduced minimal operating capacity. This jumper should only be used if the Intel ME firmware
has gotten corrupted and requires re-installation. The following procedure should be followed.
Note: System Update files are included in the System Update Packages (SUP) posted to Intel's Download
center web site. http://downloadcenter.intel.com
1. Download the SUP and unzip the contents, copying them to the root directory of a FAT32 formatted
removable media device(USB flash drive).
2. Turn off the system.
3. Remove the AC power cord.
Note: If the Intel ME FRC UPD jumper is moved with AC power applied to the system, the Intel ME will
not operate properly.
4. Remove the system top cover.
5. Move the "ME FRC UPD" Jumper from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3 (Force Update position).
6. Re-install the system top cover and re-attach the AC power cord.
