Clear CMOS Jumper
17
The Clear CMOS jumper provides two modes of operation: Normal
mode, and Clear CMOS mode.
Normal mode allows normal access to the BIOS Setup Utility. The Central
Processing Unit (CPU) input clock is forced to remain at 100 MHz (fast
mode), and the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) uses the User CMOS
settings (as opposed to the System CMOS settings). The CMOS and
NVRAM settings are only cleared if the checksum test returns false.
Access to specific setup fields is controlled by a supervisor password or
user password.
The Clear CMOS mode removes the pa ssword that is stor ed in CMOS. No
other parameters are cleared.
To change the Clear CMOS jumper, perform the following steps:
1 Remove the system cover (see “Removing the System Cover” on
page 20).
2 Set the jumpers as directed by a service technician (also see “CMOS
Clear (CMOS)” on page 59).
3 Reinstall the system cover (see “Replacing the System Cover” on
page 21).
VGA Enable Jumper

About User and Supervisor Passwords
The system allows you to specify up to two passwords (a User password
and a Supervisor password) in the BIOS Setup Utility. The User password
is required; the Supervisor password is optional.
Access to the BIOS Setup Utility depends on which passwords were
previously set, as indicated next.
If you set these passwords... ...the following passwords are required:
User password only User password is required at bootup.
Supervisor password only No password is required at bootup.
Supervisor password is required by most
setup options.
Both passwords User password is required at bootup.
Supervisor password is required by most
setup options.

Beep Code Error Messages
During a normal bootup, a single short beep signifies that the system is
OK. Other beep patterns signify err ors. The number of beeps indicates the
specific error that occurred.
The Sony Online Support technical representative will need to know how
many beeps your system produces if there is an error, so be sure to count
the number of beeps before calling for support.
