Clearing the Password

If the user or administrator password(s) is lost or forgotten, moving the password clear jumper into

the “clear” position clears both passwords. The password clear jumper must be restored to its original

position before a new password(s) can be set. The password clear jumper (J1H2) is shown in

Figure 10 on page 21

.

1. Power down the system and disconnect the power cord.
2. Open the server chassis. See

Section 3.2.1, “Removing the Chassis Cover” on page 25

for

instructions.

3. Move the jumper (J1H2) from the normal operation position, Password Clear Protect, at pins 1

and 2 to the Password Clear Erase position, covering pins 2 and 3.

4. Wait 5 seconds.
5. Return the Password Clear jumper (J1H2) to the normal operational position, covering pins 1 and

2.

6. Close the server chassis. See

BMC Force Update Procedure

When performing a standard BMC firmware update procedure, the update utility places the BMC into

an update mode to allow the firmware to load safely onto the flash device. In the unlikely event that

the BMC firmware update process fails because the BMC is not in the proper update state, the server

board provides a BMC Force Update jumper that can force the BMC into the proper update state. Use

the following procedure if the standard BMC firmware update process fails.

1. Power down and remove AC Power.
2. Open the server chassis. Open the server. See

Section 3.2.1, “Removing the Chassis Cover” on

page 25

for instructions.

3. Put a jumper on the J1E3 header.
4. Close the server chassis.
5. Reconnect the power and restart the system.
6. Perform the standard BMC firmware update procedure as documented in the README.TXT file

included in the BMC Firmware Update package.

7. When the update has finished, power down the system and remove the power cord.
8. Open the server chassis (remove the top cover).
9. Remove the jumper from J1E3.

10. Close the server chassis.
11. Reconnect the power and restart the system.

Note:

Normal BMC functionality is disabled when the Force BMC Update jumper is populated.

The server should never be run with the BMC Force Update jumper populated and

should only be used when the standard firmware update process fails. This header

should remain unpopulated when the server is running normally.
