I just replaced the cmos battery on my poweredge 4300 running server 2003, and now I get a scsi bios not installed error and it hangs when trying to boot. I have checked the bios and the time and all the settings are correct. Not sure what I erased or needs to reset, but prior to this all was booting up and operating just fine. I am beating my head against a wall here..........please help;Thanks
Look for a jumper on the motherboard where it would allow you to clear the cmos. basically you would move the position of the jumper and turn on the computer and let it clear itself.
Then after it clears turn off the machine, put the jumper back into its original position and then turn the computer on and see if the message goes away.
Also go into the BIOS and put in the correct time, date, year, etc.

Is the cmos jumper the same as what is labeled "isa_clear" that has no jumper installed currently? If that's the case I would add a jumper to the"isa_clear"block; reboot, remove the jumper and reboot set time and bios settings and should be good to go.....just wanted to clarify before I screw something up, because I looked at the dell manual and saw nothing specifically labeled cmos.
Thank you very much for your help! :)
