Clearing The Cmos Configuration - HP D6030A - NetServer - E50 Installation Manual

Chapter 9

Clearing the CMOS Configuration

You may need to clear the CMOS configuration (BIOS) if the configuration has
been corrupted. The CMOS could be corrupted by incorrect settings made in the
Setup Utility, which could cause the display to be unreadable.
The Setup Utility does not provide a method of clearing CMOS from within the
Utility. To clear or erase the CMOS configuration settings, including a forgotten
password, you must move the CMOSCL jumper on the system board. This erases
all your configuration settings by clearing the CMOS Real Time Clock (RTC).
1. Power down the HP NetServer and gain access to the system board.
Refer to Chapter 2, "Controls, Ports, and Indicators," and Chapter 3,
"Opening and Closing the HP NetServer."
2. On the system board, locate the CMOSCL jumper. See Figure 9-1.
3. Set jumper CMOSCL to Clear (pins 2 and 3).
4. Wait for 15 seconds, then return the CMOSCL jumper to Normal (pins 1
and 2).
5. Replace the cover.
Refer to Chapter 3, "Opening and Closing the HP NetServer," and
Chapter 2, "Controls, Ports, and Indicators."
6. Power up the HP NetServer and hold down the <Delete> key during boot
up.
Refer to Chapter 2, "Controls, Ports, and Indicators."
7. Re-enter all your settings in the Setup Utility, including the passwords.
