Clearing the Configuration
CAUTION: Do not use the System Configuration Maintenance switch to
clear the contents of the EISA non-volatile memory when troubleshooting.
Doing so may cause you to lose information.
To clear the computer configuration, you must set switch 6 on the system
board to the ON position. Then cold boot the server (turn the power switch
off, then back on). When you turn on this switch, also called the System
Configuration Maintenance switch, you clear the configuration from non-
volatile memory. The computer must then be reconfigured with switch 6 in
the OFF position.
CAUTION: Be certain the power is turned OFF before you move switch 6.
IMPORTANT: In addition to the System Configuration and Configure Hardware
option, you can also select System Configuration / Configuration Backup / Restore
from a System Configuration .SCI File.
