Clearing the CMOS Configuration
You may need to clear the CMOS configuration if the configuration has been
corrupted by a program, or if incorrect settings made in the Setup program have
made the display unreadable.
To clear the configuration:
1. Turn off power to the NetServer and remove the cover and the cooling
duct/cover.
2. Move switch 4 on the system board (labeled "Clear Configuration") to the
ON position (see Figure 7-1).
3. Turn on power to the NetServer. A message displays indicating that the
configuration has been cleared.
4. Turn off power to the NetServer.
5. Return switch 4 on the system board to the OFF position.
6. Replace the cooling duct/cover and the cover.
7. Turn on power to the NetServer. The message
Incorrect PC Configuration
Option ROM error
is displayed.
8. Press [F2] to run the Setup program when
<

appears.
9. Make any configuration changes that are required.
10. Choose the Exit option and save the changes to save the configuration and
exit the Setup program.
Power-On System Hardware Test Error Messages
There are two kinds of error messages that may prevent the NetServer from
booting. These are:

Return key to see a definition of the message and what action to take to
remedy the problem.
•
Power-on system hardware test errors. These display in normal video
(white text on black background.)
