Resetting The Password Jumper; Clearing And Resetting The Cmos - HP Rp3000 Illustrated Parts & Service Map

System Setup and Boot
Basic system information regarding system information, setup, power management, hardware,
and passwords is maintained in the Setup Utility held in the system ROM. The Setup Utility is
accessed by pressing the F10 key when prompted (on screen) to do so during the boot sequence.
If the screen prompt opportunity is missed, a restart will be necessary. For more information

Drive Protection System (DPS)
The Drive Protection System (DPS) is a diagnostic tool built into the hard drives installed in
some computers. DPS is designed to help diagnose problems that might result in unwarranted
hard drive replacement.
Running DPS will not affect any programs or data stored on the hard drive. The test resides in
the hard drive firmware and can be executed even if the computer will not boot to an operating
system. The time required to execute the test depends on the manufacturer and size of the hard
drive; in most cases, the test will take approximately two minutes per gigabyte.
Use DPS when you suspect a hard drive problem. If the computer reports a SMART Hard Drive
Detect Imminent Failure message, there is no need to run DPS; instead, back up the information
on the hard drive and contact a service provider for a replacement hard drive.
Accessing DPS Through Computer Setup
When the computer does not power on properly you should use Computer Setup to access the
DPS program. To access DPS, perform the following steps:
1. Turn on or restart the computer.
2. When the F10 Setup message appears in the lower-right corner of the screen, press F10. A
choice of five headings appears in the Computer Setup Utilities menu: File, Storage,
Security, Power, and Advanced.
3. Select Storage > DPS Self-Test.
Note: If no DPS-capable hard drives are installed, the DPS Self-Test option will not display.
4. Select the hard drive to test and follow the screen prompts to complete the testing process.
When the test has been completed, one of three messages will be displayed:
• Test Succeeded. Completion Code 0.
• Test Aborted. Completion Code 1 or 2.
• Test Failed. Drive Replacement Recommended. Completion Code 3 through 14.

Resetting the Password Jumper:

1. Shut down the operating system properly, then turn off the computer and any external devices,
and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
2. With the power cord disconnected, press the power button again to drain the system of any
residual power.
3. Remove the computer cover.
4. Locate the header and jumper.
5. Remove the jumper from pins 1 and 2. Place the jumper on either pin 1 or 2, but not both, so
that it does not get lost.
6. Replace the computer cover or access panel.
7. Reconnect the external equipment.
8. Plug in the computer and turn on power. Allow the operating system to start. This clears the
current passwords and disables the password features.
9. To establish new passwords, repeat steps 1 through 4, replace the password jumper on pins 1
and 2, then repeat steps 6 through 8. Establish the new passwords in Computer Setup. Refer to
the Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide for Computer Setup instructions.

Clearing and Resetting the CMOS

The computer's configuration memory (CMOS) stores information about the computer's con-
figuration.
Using Computer Setup to Reset CMOS
Using Computer Setup to reset CMOS also clears the power-on and setup passwords. To reset
CMOS through Computer Setup, you must first access the Computer Setup Utilities menu.
When the Computer Setup message appears in the lower-right corner of the screen, press the
F10 key. Press Enter to bypass the title screen, if necessary.
Note: If you do not press the F10 key while the message is displayed, you must turn the com-
puter off, then on again, to access the utility.
A choice of five headings appears in the Computer Setup Utilities menu: File, Storage, Secu-
rity, Power, and Advanced.
To reset CMOS to the factory default settings first set time and date, then use the arrow keys or
the Tab key to select File > Default Setup > Restore Factory Settings as Defaults. Then
select Apply Defaults and Exit from the File menu. This resets the soft settings that include
boot sequence order and other factory settings. It will not, however, force hardware rediscovery.
See the Desktop Management Guide for further instructions on reestablishing passwords. For
instructions on Computer Setup, see the Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide.
Resetting the CMOS Jumper
1. Turn off the computer and any external devices, and disconnect the power cord from the
power outlet. The power must be disconnected from the system to clear CMOS.
2. Disconnect the keyboard, monitor, and any other external equipment connected to the
computer.
3. Remove the computer cover.
Caution: Clearing CMOS will restore CMOS values to factory defaults and will erase any
customized information including passwords, asset numbers, and special settings. It is impor-
tant to back up the computer setup configuration before resetting CMOS values in case it is
needed later. Back up is easily done through Computer Setup. See the Computer Setup (F10)
Utility Guide for information on backing up the computer setup configuration.
4. Locate the green two-prong jumper labeled CMOS.
5. Remove the CMOS jumper from pins 1 and 2 and put the jumper on pins 2 and 3.
6. Put the jumper back on pins 1 and 2.
7. Replace the computer cover or access panel.
8. Reconnect the external devices.
9. Plug in the computer and turn on power.
Note: You will receive POST error messages after clearing CMOS and rebooting advising you
that configuration changes have occurred. Use Computer Setup to reset any special system set-
ups along with the date and time.
Diagnostic Functions
Diagnostic functions are provided by the Setup Utility (in system ROM) and by HP Insight
