How to reset the BIOS on a DL360

Hi Michael,

(Make sure you take the necessary precaution on the ESD--Electro Static Discharge)
Open the top cover of the server and look for a Maintenance switch with 6 dip switchs.
1.Flip the switch # 6 to the ON possition
2. Power up the server and you will end up with a POST message that the configuration switch is ON and prompt you to power dwon and put it OFF
3. Power down server and flip the same switch # 6 back to OFF
4. Power UP server
(You might go to the RBSU-ROM Based Setup Utility and make sure that your controller, where the boot logical drive, is on top under the "controller boot order ")
that will be it

Look on page 129 of this maintenance and service guide for DL380 for the location of the switch

Hope this helps

If i am correct, Clear NVRAM option in RBSU will also do the same. It will reset RBSU values to factory defaults.

You can also ERASE utility which is part of SmartStart Scripting toolkit.
