Power problems can be difficult to solve. For example, a short circuit can exist
anywhere on any of the power distribution buses. Usually a short circuit will cause
the power subsystem to shut down because of an overcurrent condition.
A general procedure for troubleshooting power problems is as follows:
1. Turn off the server and disconnect all ac power cords.
3. Disconnect the power cord, and disconnect all external cables.
4. Remove the cover (see "Removing the cover" on page 18).
5. Locate the password reset jumper (J22) on the system board, removing any
components that impede access to the jumper.
6. Remove the password reset jumper from pins 1 and 2, and place it on pins 2
and 3.
7. Replace any components that were removed.
8. Replace the cover.

change or delete the password, the next time you start the server the original
power-on password will be reinstated.
9. Connect the server to a power source, keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
