Resolution

Restore BIOS Default Settings can be attained by resetting the BIOS Default Jumper (J2B1), which is located on Intel® Server Board S2600WF family behind the rear USB ports and it is labeled as (J2B1).

  2. Remove the system top cover and move the BIOS DFLT jumper from pins 1-2 (normal operation) to pins 2-3 (set BIOS defaults).
  3. Wait five seconds then move the jumper back to pins 1-2.
  4. Re-install the system top cover.
  5. Re-Install system power cords. (Note: The system automatically powers on after AC is applied to the system)
  6. During POST, press <F2> to access the BIOS setup utility to configure and save desired BIOS options.
