Server Platform Utilities ƒ A third method to generate a request to reset the system configuration request is by using front control panel buttons. Use the following steps: 1. Power off the server, but leave it plugged in to the AC power source. 2. Make sure the NVRAM clear jumper at location J4A4 is in the 'not clear' position. See letter "A" in Figure 17 to locate the jumper block. 3. Hold down the reset button for at least 4 seconds. Continue to hold the reset button down while completing the next step. 4. While still holding down the reset button, press the power button. 5. Release the On/Off button and the reset button simultaneously. Upon completion of these steps, the BMC asserts the clear configuration signal to emulate the movement of the NVRAM Clear jumper. The BIOS clears the system configuration as if the clear configuration jumper had been moved. The system configuration is cleared only once per front panel button sequence. The option to return the system to the defaults using the front panel configuration reset function can be disabled by removing the clear configuration jumper from the main board. If the jumper is removed, to prevent this reset, it should be retained. BIOS Upgrades and Recovery The BIOS is implemented as firmware that resides in the flash ROMs. Use the DOS based utility iflash32.exe to upgrade the BIOS.  NOTE See http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SR6850HW4/ for the latest BIOS release.
