17. Restart the server, which should start up normally. Clearing CMOS If you need to erase configuration information, you must move the CMOS jumper. See the illustration in "Recovering BIOS code" on page 17 for the location of the CMOS jumper. The default position is a jumper installed on pins 1 and 2. Before you change the position of this jumper, you must turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect all external cables and power cords. Remove the cover and then move the jumper to pins 2 and 3. After moving the jumper, wait at least 5 minutes for the CMOS information to clear. Changing the position of this jumper erases all configuration and setup information, including the power-on and administrator passwords. Therefore, you must reconfigure the server after clearing CMOS memory (see Chapter 4, "Configuring the server" on page 29). If possible, record your server configuration information before moving the CMOS jumper. After you clear the CMOS information, move the jumper back to its normal position (pins 1 and 2). Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the peripheral devices and the server. Replacing the battery When replacing the battery, you must replace it with a lithium battery of the same type from the same manufacturer. To avoid possible danger, read and follow the safety statement below. To order replacement batteries, call 1-800-772-2227 within the United States, and 1-800-465-7999 or 1-800-465-6666 within Canada.
