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 17, “Recovery Jumper Blocks (J1D1,
1. Power down the system and disconnect the power.
2. Open the server chassis. See

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.

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).
