Server Platform Utilities
System Configuration Reset
Three mechanisms are available for returning the system configuration to the default values. When
a request to load the default system configuration is detected, the BIOS loads the default values
during the next POST.
The first method to return the system to the default system configuration settings is through the
BIOS Setup Utility. Use the following instructions:
1. Boot the system to the System Options Menu.
2. Select BIOS Setup Utility.
3. From the Menu Bar, select Save, Restore & Exit.
4. Select Restore Defaults.
5. Press <F10> to save changes and exit.
6. Press "Y" at the prompt to save the changes.
7. The server reboots to activate the changes.
A second method to send a reset system configuration request to the server is to use the
NVRAM_CLR jumper at location J4A4 on the main board. See letter "A" in Figure 17 to
locate the jumper block. Use the instructions following the diagram.
