Server Installations and Upgrades—NSW1U Network Server

The jumpers that can be configured differently are:

• J2A2 (Serial Port B DSR/DCD jumper)
• J1H2 (Password Clear jumper)
• J1G1 (BIOS Bank Select jumper)
• J1F1 (CMOS Clear jumper)
• J1E3 (BMC Force Update jumper)
• J3E2 (Processor select jumper)

See

Figure 10

for the location of these jumpers. The following sections give more detailed information

about the settings.

3.3.1.1

Jumper Blocks

The server board has several 2-pin and 3-pin jumper blocks that can be used to configure, protect, or

recover specific features of the server board. Pin 1 on each jumper block is denoted by an “*” or “ ”.

3.3.1.2

CMOS Clear and Password Reset Procedures

The CMOS Clear and Password Reset recovery features are designed to achieve the desired operation

with minimal system down time. The procedure is identical for these two features, but has changed

from previous generation server boards. The following steps outline the new procedure for both

operations.

1. Power the server down and remove the power cable. (Standby power is present on the server

board when power is turned off but still connected.)

2. Open the server.
