Erasing Forgotten Passwords 2. Clearing CMOS memory erases the configuration of your server. Therefore, you must reconfigure the server after clearing CMOS memory. If possible, record your server configuration information before moving the CMOS jumper. The jumper is located on the system board with the label Clear CMOS Request (J7E1). To locate this jumper, see "System Board Illustration" on page 203, or refer to the label inside the server. Before you begin: Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program, record all configuration information. Read "Electrical Safety" on page 54 and "Handling Static-Sensitive Devices" on page 55. Power off the server. Remove the server cover (see "Disconnecting Cables and Removing the Cover" on page 56). 1. Locate the Clear CMOS Request jumper (J7E1) on the system board. For more information, see "System Board Illustration" on page 203, or refer to the label inside the server. 2. Move the jumper from its normal position (pins 1 and 2) to pins 2 and 3. It might be helpful to use needlenose pliers to move the jumper, but be careful not to crush the jumper or to scrape any system-board components. Chapter 7. Server Records and Specifications 205
