Intel® Server Board S1400FP TPS Jumper Blocks 11. Configure desired BIOS settings 9.2 Management Engine (ME) Firmware Force Update Jumper Block When the ME Firmware Force Update jumper is moved from its default position, the ME is forced to operate in a reduced minimal operating capacity. This jumper should only be used if the ME firmware has gotten corrupted and requires re-installation. The following procedure should be followed. Note: System Update and Recovery files are included in the System Update Packages (SUP) posted to Intel®'s web site. 1. Turn off the system and remove power cords. 2. Move the ME FRC UPD Jumper from the default (pins 1 and 2) operating position to the Force Update position (pins 2 and 3). 3. Re-attach system power cords. 4. Power on the system. Note: System Fans will boost and the BIOS Error Manager should report an 83A0 error code (ME in recovery mode). 5. Boot to the EFI shell and update the ME firmware using the "MEComplete####.cap" file (where #### = ME revision number) using the following command: iflash32 /u /ni MEComplete####.cap. 6. When update has successfully completed, power off system. 7. Remove AC power cords. 8. Move ME FRC UPD jumper back to the default position. Note: If the ME FRC UPD jumper is moved with AC power applied, the ME will not operate properly. The system will need have the AC power cords removed, wait for at least 10 seconds and then reinstalled to ensure proper operation. 9. Install AC power cords. 10. Power on system. 9.3 Password Clear Jumper Block This jumper causes both the User password and the Administrator password to be cleared if they were set. The operator should be aware that this creates a security gap until passwords have been installed again through the BIOS Setup utility. This is the only method by which the Administrator and User passwords can be cleared unconditionally. Other than this jumper, passwords can only be set or cleared by changing them explicitly in BIOS Setup or by similar means. No method of resetting BIOS configuration settings to default values will affect either the Administrator or User passwords. 1. Power down the server and unplug the power cords. 2. Move jumper from the default (pins 1 and 2) operating position to the password clear position (pins 2 and 3). 3. Close the server chassis and reattach the power cords. 4. Power up the server and wait until POST completes. Note: BIOS Error Manager should report a 5224 and 5221 error codes (Password clear jumper is set and Passwords cleared by jumper). 5. Power down the server and unplug the power cords. 6. Open the chassis, remove the Riser #2 assembly, and move the jumper back to the default position (covering pins 1 and 2).
