Recording custom Setup values Write down the settings from the Setup Utility and keep them in a safe place. If the custom values ever need restoring (after clearing CMOS, for example), you must run the Setup Utility and enter these custom settings again. Having a record of these custom settings makes this much easier. Loading system defaults If the system fails after you make changes in the Setup menus, reboot the server, enter Setup, and load the system default settings to correct the error. These default settings have been selected to optimize the server's performance. Setup default settings are quite demanding in terms of resource consumption. If you are using low-speed memory chips or other types of low-performance components and you choose to load these settings, the system might not function properly. To load the system defaults: 1. Reboot the server in a normal manner. 2. During POST, press F10 to access the Setup Utility. 3. Press F9 to load the default values. 4. Press F10 to save the changes and close the Setup Utility. Clearing CMOS You may need to clear the Setup configuration values (CMOS) if the configuration has been corrupted, or if incorrect settings made in the Setup Utility have caused error messages to be unreadable. Clearing the CMOS data removes the administrator password. The clear CMOS setting is on clear CMOS button(SW6) on the system board. Refer to the HP ProLiant DL160 Generation 5 Server Maintenance and Service Guide for the location of this jumper block and the clear CMOS setting. To clear CMOS: 1. Perform the pre-installation procedures. 2. If necessary, remove any expansion boards, assemblies, or cables that prevent access to the press CMOS button (SW6). 3. Locate the clear CMOS button (SW6) on the system board. 4. Press clear CMOS button (SW6) to clear the CMOS memory. 5. Perform the post-installation procedures. 6. During POST, press F10 to access the Setup Utility. 7. Press F9 to load the system default values. 8. Press F10 to save the changes you made and to close the Setup Utility.

Recording custom Setup values
Write down the settings from the Setup Utility and keep them in a safe place. If the custom values ever
need restoring (after clearing CMOS, for example), you must run the Setup Utility and enter these
custom settings again. Having a record of these custom settings makes this much easier.
Loading system defaults
If the system fails after you make changes in the Setup menus, reboot the server, enter Setup, and
load the system default settings to correct the error. These default settings have been selected to
optimize the server’s performance. Setup default settings are quite demanding in terms of resource
consumption. If you are using low-speed memory chips or other types of low-performance components
and you choose to load these settings, the system might not function properly.
To load the system defaults:
1.
Reboot the server in a normal manner.
2.
During POST, press
F10
to access the Setup Utility.
3.
Press
F9
to load the default values.
4.
Press
F10
to save the changes and close the Setup Utility.
Clearing CMOS
You may need to clear the Setup configuration values (CMOS) if the configuration has been
corrupted, or if incorrect settings made in the Setup Utility have caused error messages to be
unreadable. Clearing the CMOS data removes the administrator password.
The clear CMOS setting is on clear CMOS button(SW6) on the system board. Refer to the HP ProLiant
DL160 Generation 5 Server Maintenance and Service Guide for the location of this jumper block and
the clear CMOS setting.
To clear CMOS:
1.
Perform the pre-installation procedures.
2.
If necessary, remove any expansion boards, assemblies, or cables that prevent access to the
press CMOS button (SW6).
3.
Locate the clear CMOS button (SW6) on the system board.
4.
Press clear CMOS button (SW6) to clear the CMOS memory.
5.
Perform the post-installation procedures.
6.
During POST, press
