Setting the configuration switches 89
The Clear CMOS switch
The Clear CMOS switch on the system board (SW4) lets you clear all BIOS
Setup settings. For normal operation, SW4 should be in the OFF position. To
clear the CMOS settings, SW4 should be turned to the ON position. Make sure
you turn off the server and unplug the power cord before moving the switch.
Once the switch is set to the ON position, the system passwords will be cleared
when the system goes through the POST routine. When this occurs, the
following error message will appear:
CMOS checksum bad
Press F1 to run Setup
Press F2 to load default values and continue
After selecting the appropriate option, enter any required information and
continue. When you turn off the system again, open the system, set the switch
back to the OFF position, then close the system.
