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 (J1D2) is shown in

Figure 19, “Recovery Jumper Blocks (J1D1, J1D2, J1D3)” on page 35

.

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

Section 3.2.3

,

“Removing the Chassis Cover”

for instructions.

3. Move the jumper (J1D2) 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. Reconnect the power, power up the system.
5. Power down the system and disconnect the power cord.
6. Return the Password Clear jumper (J1D2) to the Password Clear Protect position, covering pins 1

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.

Once the firmware update process completes successfully, the firmware update utility may generate

an error stating that the BMC is still in update mode. Use the following procedure to get out of Update

mode:

1. Power down and remove the power cord.
2. Open the server chassis (remove the top cover).
3. Locate jumper block J1D1 and move the jumper to the Enable position (pins 2-3).
4. Close the server chassis.
5. Reconnect the power and restart the system.

Now perform the standard BMC firmware update procedure as documented in the README.TXT file

included in the BMC Firmware Update package.

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 this

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

header should remain unpopulated by default when the server is running normally.

6. When the update has finished, power down the system and remove the power cord.
7. Open the server chassis (remove the top cover).
8. Close the server chassis.
9. Reconnect the power and restart the system.

10. Locate jumper block J1D1 and move the jumper to the Disable position (pins 1-2).
