Setting the system board jumpers
and switches
The system board has one jumper and one four switch bank. Each of these
components has a specific function described in the sections below.
The CMOS Clear jumper
The CMOS Clear jumper on the system board (jumper J1) lets you clear all
BIOS Setup settings. (See the figure on page 6 for the location of the jumper.)
The following table shows the settings required to perform this task. Make
sure you turn off the server and unplug the power cord before moving the
jumper. After you have cleared CMOS memory, return the jumper to pins 1
and 2 for normal operation.
Mode Jumper
Setting Action When Set
CMOS protected Pins 1-2 Normal operation (default)
Clear CMOS Pins 2-3 Causes server to clear all BIOS
settings and return to defaults
Caution Moving the jumper while the power is on can damage the
server. Always turn off the server and unplug the power
cord before moving the jumper.
