Steps
Turn off the sled using the operating system

the jumpers.
Move the jumper on the system-board jumper
from pins 1 and 2 to pins 2 and 3.
Install the sled in the enclosure.
Turn on the sled.
When the sled is on, the power-on indicator is
solid green. Allow the sled to finish booting.
The existing
passwords are not disabled (erased) until the system boots with the
password jumper on pins 2 and 3. However, before you assign a new
system and/or setup password, you must reinstall the password jumper
back to pins 1 and 2.
NOTE: If you assign a new system and/or setup password with the jumper
on pins 2 and 3, the system disables the new password(s) the next
time it boots.
