R-Series Data Center Products User’s Guide

From the BIOS setup utility you can configure boot sequence, hard disk settings,
power-up defaults, power management settings and more. (Note that you can select
the first boot device without entering the BIOS setup utility. Follow the on-screen
prompts as the blade boots. If you are booting from a USB CD-ROM device, select
CDROM (do not select removable device.)

You can clear existing CMOS settings and reset BIOS passwords as described in the
following sections.

Resetting an R1350 CMOS Password

To reset the CMOS password on an R1350, move the JP1 jumper on the motherboard.
You will need a set of needle-nose pliers to move the jumper. When the jumper is in
the Reset CMOS on restart position, the CMOS password is reset when the R1350
restarts. To reset the CMOS password, perform the following steps.

1. Power down the blade normally, and remove it from the chassis.

2. Move the CMOS jumper to the Reset CMOS on restart position (pins 2 and 3

jumpered).

3. Return the blade to the chassis and power it on. Wait until the operating system

starts.

4. Power off the blade, and remove it from the chassis.

5. Return the CMOS jumper to its default position (covering pins 1 and 2).

6. Return the blade to the chassis and power it on.

ClearCube PC blades uses a lithium coin-cell battery for backing up
parameter memory. When you change this battery, remove the old battery
and wait at least 30 seconds before inserting the new battery. Otherwise,
memory corruption may occur, and may require sending the blade back to
ClearCube for repair.

NOTE

If you do not return this jumper to its default position, the blade
will always reset the CMOS password when it restarts.
