Clearing and Resetting the CMOS
The CMOS of the workstation stores password information and information about the workstation
configuration. This section describes the steps to successfully clear and reset the CMOS.
Using Computer Setup to Reset CMOS
To reset CMOS using Computer Setup, access the Computer Setup Utilities menu. When the Computer
Setup message appears in the lower-right corner of the screen, press the F10 key. Press Enter to bypass
the title screen, if necessary.
NOTE: If you do not press the F10 key while the message is displayed, the workstation must be restarted
to access the utility.
From the Computer Setup menu, select File > Set Defaults and Exit. This restores the soft settings that
include boot sequence order and other factory settings. It does not, however, force hardware rediscovery.
NOTE: The workstation passwords and any special configurations along with the system date and time
will have to be reset.
