Marco,
You need to put jumper on the motherboard,
For that you may pl. refer to your Server or PC motherboard documents...

I hope this helps,
Rajesh

Hi Marco if you look at the technical manual page 80/81 you will see the picture where the switches are.

Hi Marco,

If you still did not get it work do this (This steps is specifically for the LH 3 Netserver I am not sure about the Vectra. May be you have to look at the technical reference)

1. Open the server and locate the configuration switch on the mainboard which will be found close to the CMOS Battery
2. Flip Switch# 6 from OFF to ON and power up the server
3. After u got the password clear message, power down server and flip switch# 6 back from ON to OFF
4. Power up the server

This should take care of it

I hope this will help
