Complete the following steps to change the position of the clear CMOS jumper: 1. Review the safety information beginning on page v. 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords and external cables; then, remove the cover. See the section about removing the server cover and bezel in the Option Installation Guide on the IBM Eserver Documentation CD. 3. Change the position of the jumper on JBAT1 to bypass the user or supervisor password check. 4. Connect the server to a USB keyboard, monitor, and USB mouse; then, connect it to a power source. 5. Turn on the server. You can now start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and either delete the old password or set a new user or supervisor password. You do not need to return the jumper to the previous position. Updating the BIOS code Note: To ensure proper server operation, be sure to update the baseboard management controller firmware first before updating the BIOS code. For more information, see "Using the baseboard management controller firmware update program" on page 22. The most current level of BIOS code for the server is available at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/. After you verify that your server has the latest baseboard management controller firmware level, you can update the BIOS code on your server through one of the following methods: v Downloading the latest BIOS code from this IBM Web site, creating an update diskette, and using a USB diskette drive to install the BIOS code. v Installing an update package for the Linux or Microsoft® Windows® operating system, if available. Configuring console redirection To establish a console-redirection connection on the server, use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to configure the type of connection as follows. Complete the following steps to configure console redirection using Serial over LAN: 1. Enable console redirection (select Advanced Setup --> Console Redirection, set the Console Redirection value to On-board COM A, and make sure that the FIFO Level value is 14). 2. Set the COM port that is used by the baseboard management controller to use a command-line interface (select Advanced Setup --> Baseboard Management Controller and set the COM port on BMC value to CLI). Complete the following steps to configure console redirection using serial only: 1. Enable console redirection (select Advanced Setup --> Console Redirection and set the Console Redirection value to On-board COM A). 2. Disable the COM port that the baseboard management controller uses (select Advanced Setup --> Baseboard Management Controller and set the COM port on BMC value to Disabled). Chapter 2.
