3. Move the jumper from the default operating position (Pins 1-2) to the Reset/Clear position (Pins
2-3) on the appropriate jumper (J1F1 for CMOS Clear or J1H2 for Password Reset).
4. Wait 5 seconds.
5. Move the jumper back to the default position (Pins 1-2).
6. Close the server.
7. Reconnect the power source and power up the server.
8. The password and/or CMOS is now cleared and can be reset by going into BIOS setup.
3.3.1.3 BMC Force Update Procedure
When performing a standard BMC firmware update procedure, the update utility places the BMC into
update mode, allowing the firmware to load safely onto the flash device. If the BMC firmware update
process fails because the BMC not being in the proper update state, the server board provides a BMC
Force Update jumper that forces the BMC into the update state. The following procedure should be
followed if the standard BMC firmware update process fails.
1. Power down the server and remove the power cable. (Standby power is present on the server
board when power is turned off but still connected.)
2. Open the server.
3. Place a jumper on the J1E3 header.
4. Close the server.
5. Reconnect the power source and power up the server.
6. Perform standard BMC firmware update procedure as documented in README.TXT file that is
included in the given BMC Firmware Update package.
7. After successful completion of the firmware update process, the firmware update utility may
generate an error stating that the BMC is still in update mode.
8. Power down the server and remove the power cable.
9. Open the server.
10. Remove jumper from J1E3.
11. Close the server.
12. Reconnect power source and power up the server.
Note: Normal BMC functionality is disabled when the Force BMC Update jumper is populated.
The server should never be run with the BMC Force Update jumper populated and
should only be used when the standard firmware update process fails. This header
should remain unpopulated by default when the server is running normally.
3.3.1.4 BIOS Select Jumper
The jumper block at J1G1 selects which BIOS image the system will boot. Pin 1 on the jumper is
identified with a “ ”. This jumper should only be moved if you wish to force the BIOS to boot to the
secondary bank that may hold a different version of the BIOS.
The rolling BIOS feature of the server board will automatically alternate the Boot BIOS to the
secondary bank in the event the BIOS image in the primary bank is corrupted and cannot boot for any
reason.
3.3.1.5 Serial B Port Configuration Jumper
The rear of the IP Network Server NSW1U provides an RJ45 connector for the Serial B port, which is
intended for direct connection to serial devices such as serial port concentrators using a standard Cat
5 cable. But various serial devices which use RJ45 connectors differ in the signal they require on Pin
