Resetting passwords
If you forget the power-on password or administrator password, you can move the
password clear jumper on the system board to pins 2 and 3, to clear the power-on
or administrator password check. The jumper location is shown in the following
illustration.
Using the Boot Manager program
The Boot Manager program is a built-in, menu-driven configuration utility program
that you can use to temporarily redefine the first startup device without changing
settings in the Setup utility.
To use the Boot Manager program, complete the following steps:
1. Turn off the server.
2. Restart the server.
3. When the prompt <F12> Select Boot Device is displayed, press F12. If a
bootable USB mass storage device is installed, a submenu item (USB
Key/Disk) is displayed.
4. Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to select an item from the Boot
Selection Menu and press Enter.
The next time the server starts, it returns to the startup sequence that is set in the
Setup utility.
Installing your operating system
If you have already configured the server hardware, you can complete the following
steps to download the latest operating-system installation instructions from the IBM
Web site.
Notes:
1. Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure might
vary slightly from what is described in this document.
