Resetting the BIOS
You can use two methods to clear all BIOS Setup settings and return them to the factory
defaults:
■ Press the power and reset buttons on the front of the server.
■ Move the Clear BIOS jumper on the system board.
To reset the BIOS using the power and reset buttons:
1 Print the appendix for BIOS Settings in this guide.
2 Restart your server, then press F2 when the Gateway logo screen appears during
startup. The BIOS Setup utility opens.
3 Record any custom BIOS settings on your printout.
4 Press the reset button and hold it down for four seconds or more, then press the power
button while continuing to hold down the reset button.
5 Release both buttons at the same time. The BIOS is reset.
To reset the BIOS using the system board jumper:
1 Turn off the server, then disconnect the power cords and all other cables connected
to the server.
2 Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 42.
Caution Moving the jumper while the power is on can damage your server.
Always turn off the server and unplug the power cords and all other
cables before changing the jumper.
