Bios Serviceability Features - Intel SE7500CW2 Technical Product Specification

SE7500CW2 Server Board Technical Product Specification
option under Advanced screen and it should be disabled when using BIOS console redirection,
since it cannot redirect the video if configured for graphics mode.
The BIOS may temporarily remove the splash screen when the user is prompted for a password
during POST. The BIOS also allows an OEM to override the standard Intel splash screen with a
custom one. The OEM logo replacing procedure is below.
Step 1: Download the logo update package from support at http://support.intel.com.
Step 2: Create a logo for your company. The logo may be no more that 16 colors from the 16-
color palette. Refer to the instructions included with the update utility for exact limitations.
Step 3: Execute the oemlogo.exe file downloaded from the support site to extract the content to
a diskette. The diskette will include 3.bat, B2P.exe, checkBMP.exe, Logoupd.exe and
Logoupd.txt.
Step 4: Make the diskette bootable and boot to it.
Step 5: Execute the command "3.bat Filename.bmp" where Filename.bmp is your custom logo.
Note: All files must be in the same directory, and you must be working in a pure DOS
environment.
The SE7500CW2 BIOS maintains the splash screen during option ROM initialization. Since
option ROMs expect the video to be in text mode, the BIOS emulates text mode.

BIOS Serviceability Features

The CMOS configuration RAM may be reset by two methods:
1. The CMOS clear jumper located on the baseboard at jumper J106. The CMOS clear can
also be set to a default setting through the BIOS Setup.
There are 5 steps involved to clear the CMOS by CMOS clear Jumper:
1) Power off the system
2) Plug the jumper from pins 9 & 10 (storage location) onto pins 5 & 6 of J106 and
power on the system
3) Power the system off once it begins beeping
4) Replace the jumper onto pins 9 & 10
5) Power on the system
2. It will automatically be reset if it becomes corrupted.
When the BIOS detects a CMOS clear request, CMOS defaults are loaded during POST
sequence. Note that non-volatile storage for embedded devices may or may not be affected by
the clear CMOS operation, depending on the available hardware support. The system must be
rebooted without the CMOS clear jumper being in the "clear".
