Notes

1. This is the factory default.

2. Do not change the settings for switches
S6A1-4, S6A1-5, S6A1-6, or S6A1-8.
These switch settings should remain as
set at the factory.


Resetting NVRAM and the RTC (Switch S6A1-1)
Setting the CMOS switch to On clears the current values of NVRAM and the RTC when the server is reset. This returns NVRAM and the RTC to the factory default.

When the CMOS switch is set to Off, the default, the current settings are preserved during system reset.

To reset the server's NVRAM and RTC settings to the factory default values,
do the following steps:
1. Power-off the server and monitor.
2. Locate the configuration switches on the system board.
3. If necessary to access the configuration switches, remove the processor board.
4. Slide switch S6A1-1 to On.
5. If removed, replace the processor board.
6. Power-on the monitor and server; then, wait for POST to complete. This automatically reprograms the NVRAM and RTC to their factory settings.
7. Power-off the server and the monitor.
8. If necessary to access the configuration switches, remove the processor board.
9. Slide switch S6A1-1 to Off.
10. If removed, replace the bottom processor board.
11. Run The System Configuration Utility to restore the configuration settings.
