Turn off the server.

Remove the diskette from the drive.

Open the case.

Set switch SW1-3 back to the off position.

Close the case.

Turn on the server.

As the server boots, press F2 to open the BIOS Setup utility. Save and exit 
from the BIOS Setup utility, even if you made no changes to the settings.

If the server does not boot properly, repeat the BIOS recovery procedure. If 
the server still does not boot properly, contact Gateway technical support.

The system board has one jumper and one four switch bank. Each of these 
components has a specific function described in the sections below.

The CMOS Clear jumper on the system board (jumper J1) lets you clear all 
BIOS Setup settings. (See the figure on page 6 for the location of the jumper.)

The following table shows the settings required to perform this task. Make 
sure you turn off the server and unplug the power cord before moving the 
jumper. After you have cleared CMOS memory, return the jumper to pins 1 
and 2 for normal operation.

Moving the jumper while the power is on can damage the 
server. Always turn off the server and unplug the power 
cord before moving the jumper.
