Pins 2-3 jumpered
(Maintenance mode) |
 |
Starting the system with the jumper set in Maintenance mode automatically
starts the system setup program, adds the Maintenance option to the menu
bar, and displays the Maintenance screen. This screen provides two
options: Processor Speed and Clear All
Passwords.  CAUTION:
Entering Maintenance mode returns all settings in the system setup program to their
defaults. Dell strongly recommends that you record or print all current settings before
entering this mode so you can correct them when the system is reset to Normal mode.
- Processor Speed — Options are 333 MHz,
350 MHz, and 400 MHz.
 NOTE: Before leaving Maintenance Mode, reset Processor
Speed to match the system's processor speed.
CAUTION: Setting a processor's
speed to greater than its rated value can cause damage to the processor.
- Clear All Passwords — Disables a
forgotten password so that you can access the system and/or assign new passwords. For the
complete password procedure, see "Disabling a Forgotten Password" in Appendix B
of the Reference and Troubleshooting Guide.
