3.4.1.2 CMOS Clear and Password Reset Procedures
The procedure is identical for clearing the CMOS and the password, but has changed
from previous generation server boards. The following steps outline the new procedure
for both operations.
1. Power down the server 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.
3. Move the jumper link from the default operating position (Pins 1-2) to the Reset/
Clear position (Pins 2-3) on the appropriate jumper (J1F1 for CMOS Clear or J1H2
for Password Reset).
4. Wait 5 seconds.
5. Move the jumper back to the default position (Pins 1-2).
6. Close the server.
7. Reconnect the power source and power up the server.
8. The password and/or CMOS is cleared and can be reset in BIOS setup.
3.4.1.3 BMC Force Update Procedure
When performing a standard BMC firmware update procedure, the update utility places
the BMC into an update mode, allowing the firmware to load safely onto the flash
device. If the BMC firmware update process fails because the BMC was not in the
proper update state, the server board provides a BMC Force Update jumper that forces
the BMC into the proper update state. If the standard BMC firmware update process
fails, the following procedure should be followed:
1. Power down the server 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.
3. Place a jumper on the J1E3 header.
4. Close the server.
5. Reconnect the power source and power up the server.
6. Perform the BMC firmware update procedure that is documented in the
README.TXT file that is included with the BMC Firmware Update package.
Note: After completing of the firmware update process, the firmware update utility may
generate an error message that states that the BMC is still in update mode.
7. Power down the server and remove the power cable.
8. Open the server.
9. Remove jumper from J1E3.
10. Close the server.
11. Reconnect power source and power up the server.
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 by default when the server is running normally.
