If these pins are jumpered, the administrator and user passwords are cleared
immediately. These pins should
not
be jumpered for normal operation.

If these pins are jumpered, the compute module boots from the emergency BIOS
image. These pins should
not
be jumpered for normal operation.
5.1.1
CMOS Clear and Password Clear Usage Procedure
The CMOS Clear (J9A4) and Password Clear (J9A3) recovery features are designed such that
the desired operation can be achieved with minimal system downtime. The usage procedure for
these two features has changed from previous generation Intel
®
server boards. The following
procedure outlines the new usage model.
1. Power down the compute module.
2. Remove the compute module from the modular server chassis.
3. Open the compute module.
4. Move jumper from the default operating position (pins 1-2) to the Clear position
(pins 2-3).
5. Wait 5 seconds.
6. Move jumper back to the default position (pins 1-2).
7. Close the compute module.
8. Reinstall the compute module in the modular server chassis.
9. Power up the compute module.
Password and/or CMOS are now cleared and can be reset by going into the BIOS setup.
5.1.2
Integrated BMC Force Update Procedure
When performing a standard Integrated BMC firmware update procedure, the update utility
places the Integrated BMC into an update mode, allowing the firmware to load safely onto the
flash device. In the unlikely event that the Integrated BMC firmware update process fails due to
the Integrated BMC not being in the proper update state, the server board provides a BMC
Force Update jumper (J9A5), which will force the Integrated BMC into the proper update state.
The following procedure should be followed in the event the standard Integrated BMC firmware
update process fails.
1. Power down the compute module.
2. Remove the compute module from the modular server chassis.
3. Open the compute module.
