System Board Information

Disabling a Forgotten Password

The blade's software security features include a system password and a setup

password, which are discussed in detail in "Using the System Setup Program

and UEFI Boot Manager" on page 137. The password jumper enables these

password features or disables them, and clears any password(s) currently in use.

Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You

should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
