[CMaderaTM]

Good afternoon all (from NYC)

im new here so first I would like to say hello!

 

i am in need of some help. 

I have a intel server board: s1200v3rp

with a Intel G41024-612 MegaRaid module

8gb ram(don’t recall the exact model)

and three: Seagate ES.3 ST4000NM0033 4TB

 

 

i am not able to boot via a usb drive and I am locked out via bios password.

 

i wanted to clear the bios(reset) but I didn’t find the clear cmos pins. 

 

Any help would be LD be highly appreciated!

Also, the CMOS and clock is tied to the Button Battery (BB).  You can power off the system, remove the battery, short the battery connectors for about 10 seconds, plug the battery back in, and power it on.  The only downside is you'll have to reset the BIOS clock and date, and possibly change a few BIOS settings.

Hello CMaderaTM

 

You can also try turning off the bios battery for the night, in the morning turn on the server and BIOS should load the latest version.

Thank you all for the quick replies and help, i will try the button battery first and then move to the jumper pins if the button battery removal didn’t work.
