Intel® Server Board S2600CP and Server System P4000CP TPS Intel® Server Board S2600CP Jumper Blocks Jumper Name Force Update J1F1: Password Clear Pins 2-3 1-2 2-3 System Results BMC Firmware Force Update Mode - Enabled These pins should have a jumper in place for normal system operation. (Default) To clear administrator and user passwords, power on the system with pins 2-3 connected. The administrator and user passwords clear in 5-10 seconds after power on. Pins 2-3 should not be connected for normal system operation. 8.1 BIOS Default (a.k.a CMOS Clear) and Password Reset Usage Procedure The BIOS Default (that is, CMOS Clear) and Password Reset recovery features are designed such that the desired operation can be achieved with minimal system downtime. The usage procedure for these two features has changed from previous generation Intel server boards. The following procedure outlines the new usage model. 8.1.1 Set BIOS to default (a.k.a Clearing the CMOS) To clear the CMOS, perform the following steps: 1. Power down the server. Do not unplug the power cord. 2. Open the server chassis. For instructions, see your server chassis documentation. 3. Move jumper from the default operating position (covering pins 1 and 2) to the reset/clear position (covering pins 2 and 3). 4. Wait five seconds. 5. Remove AC power. 6. Move the jumper back to the default position (covering pins 1 and 2). 7. Close the server chassis. 8. Power up the server. The CMOS is now cleared and can be reset by going into the BIOS setup. Note: Removing AC power before performing the CMOS clear operation causes the system to automatically power up and immediately power down, after the procedure is followed and AC power is re-applied. If this happens, remove the AC power cord again, wait 30 seconds, and reinstall the AC power cord. Power up the system and proceed to the BIOS Setup utility to reset the preferred settings. 8.1.2 Clearing the Password To clear the password, perform the following steps: 1. Power down the server. Do not unplug the power cord. 2. Open the chassis. For instructions, see your server chassis documentation. 3. Move jumper from the default operating position (covering pins 1 and 2) to the password clear position (covering pins 2 and 3). 4. Close the server chassis. 5. Power up the server and wait 10 seconds or until POST completes. 6. Power down the server. Revision 1.2 99 Intel order number G26942-003
