CONFIGURING MOTHER BOARD JUMPERS

With the pre-installed SETUP utility, you can set desired passwords to protect the data stored in the
server against access from unauthorized users. When you forget the passwords, however, you may
want clear them. The following describes how to clear these passwords. You can also use the
following procedure to clear the CMOS data in the server.
IMPORTANT:
Clearing the CMOS data resumes the factory-set configuration data.
After clearing CMOS, you must run the BIOS SETUP utility and
execute the following menus to reconfigure your mother board.
– Load Setup Defaults in the Exit menu
– Memory Retest of Memory Configuration in the Advanced menu
– Processor Retest of Processor Settings in the Main menu
Refer to "RAID Configuration" described earlier in this chapter for
RAID configuration jumper setting.
Do not change any other switch settings. Any change may cause the
server to fail or malfunction.
<For SATA Hard Disk Drive Model Only>
Clearing CMOS sets the SATA RAID Enabled option in the
Peripheral Configuration submenu of the Advanced menu to
[Disabled]. If the onboard SATA RAID feature is used, change the
parameter of this option from [Disabled] to [Enabled] before exiting
the BIOS SETUP utility. Leaving this parameter as the factory-set
value (Disabled) may destroy the data in the hard disk drive.
To clear passwords or the CMOS data, use the jumper switch on the mother board of the server. The
following figure illustrates the jumper switch location.
