Power off the system, unplug the power cord(s), and remove the chassis panel. 8. Remove the Password Disable jumper from pins 3-4 and store the jumper on pins 11-12. 9. Replace the chassis panel, plug in the power cord(s), and power on the system. 10. To specify a new password run the BIOS Setup Utility as described earlier in this section. 4.2.1.2 Clearing CMOS Clear CMOS as follows. 1. Power off the system, unplug the power cord, and remove the chassis panel. 2. Use needle-nose pliers or your fingers to remove the spare jumper from pins 11-12 on jumper block JP5. 3. Position the jumper over pins 1-2 on jumper block JP5. 4. Replace the chassis panel, plug in the power cable(s), and power on the system. 5. After POST completes, power down the system, unplug the power cable(s), and remove the chassis panel. 6. Remove the jumper from pins 1-2 and store the jumper on pins 11-12. 7. Replace the chassis panel and connect system cables. 8. Power on the system, press F2 at the prompt to run the BIOS Setup utility, and select "Get Default Values" at the Exit menu. 4.2.1.3 Perfoming a BIOS Recovery Boot In the event of BIOS corruption, the following procedure may be used to perform a BIOS recovery. 1. Obtain the BIOS update file package from Intel's http://support.intel.com web site. 2. A file called "crisis.zip" is one of the files included with each SAI2 BIOS release file package. Unzip the "crisis.zip" file to a directory on your hard drive. 3. Obtain a blank formatted floppy diskette (the floppy diskette should not be a bootable DOS diskette). Insert the blank formatted floppy diskette in the floppy drive. 4. From the MS-DOS* prompt on an MS-DOS system, run the "crisdisk.bat" file from the directory you created on your hard drive. Follow the instructions on the screen to create the BIOS recovery floppy diskette. Note: The BIOS recovery floppy diskette will not be created correctly under the MS-DOS prompt window of a Windows* operating system. It is necessary to use a MS-DOS system to create the BIOS recovery floppy diskette. 5. Power off the SAI2 system, unplug the power cord, and remove the chassis panel. 6. Remove the spare jumper from pins 11-12 on jumper block JP5. 7. Reinstall the jumper on pins 9-10 (BIOS recovery) of jumper block JP5. 48 Revision 1.0
