    Replace the cmos battery in the machine that is loosing settings. Typically it is a CR2032 battery.

  • Accessing the console to troubleshoot boot issues requires something like an IPMI card or another Lights-Out/DRAC type management card which are typically found in servers. This would require a compatible system or motherboard. It's better to just repair the current system (by replacing the CMOS battery), or replace it if it can't be repaired.
