Note: Do not skip step 2. You will need these settings to configure your server at the end of the
procedure.
Obtaining the Upgrade
Download the BIOS image file to a temporary folder on your hard drive. See “Additional
Information and Software” on page 7 for a web link to the update software.
Note: Review the instructions and release notes that are provided in the readme file distributed
with the BIOS image file before attempting a BIOS upgrade. The release notes contain
critical information regarding jumper settings, specific fixes, or other information to
complete the upgrade.
Upgrading the BIOS
Follow the instructions in the readme file that came with the BIOS upgrade. When the
update completes, remove the bootable media from which you performed the upgrade.
Caution: Do not power down the system during the BIOS update process! The system will reset
automatically when the BIOS update process is completed.
Note: You may encounter a CMOS Checksum error or other problem after reboot. If this
happens, shut down the system and boot it again. CMOS checksum errors require that you
enter Setup, load BIOS defaults, check your settings, save your settings, and exit Setup.
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.

5. Wait ten seconds.
6. Move the Password Clear jumper back to the Password Clear Protect position
(covering pins 1 and 2).
